\"\"I have lived most of my life in two states\u2014Washington and New Hampshire–that border our northern neighboring country, Canada. So naturally being the adventurer that I am, I have made many a trip to Quebec and British Columbia. I love both these provinces for their parks, trails, beautiful landscapes and one of them especially for its culture (that would be the one where they speak French!).<\/p>\n

I have traveled and bicycled all of the provinces and the Yukon Territory. And I have hiked in the country and its glorious national and provincial parks from Newfoundland to the Yukon. Canada is a beautiful country with sprawling parks and unsurpassed hiking opportunities.<\/p>\n

Some of my favorite Canadian hiking spots include:<\/p>\n

Quebec\u2019s Chic Choc Traverse in the Parc du Gaspesie<\/p>\n

Yoho National Park\u2019s Iceline Trail<\/p>\n

Kootenay National Park\u2019s Floe Lake<\/p>\n

\"\"The Cape Breton Highlands of Nova Scotia<\/p>\n

Gray Owl\u2019s Cabin in Saskatchewan\u2019s Prince Albert National Park<\/p>\n

The Bruce Peninsula in Ontario\u2019s Georgian Bay<\/p>\n

Sibley Peninsula on Ontario’s Lake Superior<\/p>\n

Kluane National Park in the Yukon<\/p>\n

Waterton Glacier National Park in Alberta<\/p>\n

BC\u2019s Glacier National Park-<\/p>\n

BC’s Manning Provincial Park<\/p>\n

And I can go on!<\/p>\n

\"DSCN0550\"If you have never hiked in this vast county you are missing out on some of the world\u2019s greatest natural landscapes. Head north and wish Canada a happy 150th<\/sup> birthday, hit a Tim Horton\u2019s and hit the trail! And you still have time to get your free national park pass <\/a>for this special year!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And if you are looking for some great close by Canadian Adventures, pick up a copy of my Day Hiking the San Juans and Gulf Islands book<\/a>\u00a0(Mountaineers Books). Half of the book highlights hiking trails in and around Victoria, and on all of the major Gulf Islands including hikes in the Gulf Islands National Park Preserve!\"\"<\/a>
