Jasper National Park in the Fall – Bugles and Brilliance

Discover Canada

While Jasper National Park is spectacular anytime, our favourite season by far is fall. The weather is still pleasant, summertime crowds are gone, trees turn a glorious gold, and elk are ready to rumble. The annual elk rut, or breeding season, reaches its peak.

We can’t resist a good Canadian place name come-on so we turned off Highway 60 to get the story. In the early 19th century […]

The Cabot Trail follows a rugged Atlantic coast in the Cape Breton Highlands of Nova Scotia, Canada. Most travel the 298 kilometre (185 mile) route in summer but we traveled it in early September.

We were told that’s when Nova Scotia’s colours generally peak, a good two weeks after other parts of Canada, including Quebec and most of […]

We love discovering back road routes to famous Canadian destinations. We found a good one for Mont Tremblant, Quebec’s popular four-season resort. Fun to drive in any season, we chose it for a late fall drive. The town of Saint-Jovite is the gateway to Mont Tremblant and is a good place to stop for lunch if […]

Discover Canada

Algonquin Provincial Park is the oldest provincial park in Ontario. Three historic lodges, all with a reputation for doing it right, offer a place to stay in the park from May to October. I recently had the good fortune to visit all three in late spring. In June mosquitoes are out, especially in the late afternoons, […]
