1. The Canadian Rockies
What & Where: Straddling the British Columbia/Alberta border, this mountain chain runs from the U.S. border to the northern end of British Columbia.
Why: Within the Canadian Rockies is some of the most beautiful, serene and, at the same time, breathtaking scenery on the earth’s surface. These mountain jewels are distinct from the American Rockies as they have been very heavily glaciated, resulting in sharply pointed mountains separated by wide, U-shaped valleys gouged by glaciers, whereas the American Rockies are more rounded. That’s why, even though the Rocky Mountain Range runs from Northern British Columbia to New Mexico, Canada can claim their very own “Rockies” as a distinct attraction.
2. Niagara Falls
What & Where: Niagara Falls is actually three separate, massive waterfalls located on the Niagara River at the southern tip of Ontario, on the border between Canada and the United States: The Horseshoe Falls, the American Falls, and the smaller, adjacent Bridal Veil Falls. The crescent-shaped Horseshoe Falls is also known as the Canadian Falls as it is mostly in Canada.
Why: The Falls are one of the truly natural wonders of the world. The sight and thunderous sound of the cascading waters are mesmerizing and the mystic power of the falls will always stay with you.
3. Pacific Rim National Park Why: The park provides access to nature at its rawest: Wet, wild and dramatic scenery that can be observed from the comfort of warm, luxurious hotels that dot the coastline. It’s also a surfers paradise! |
