LEAF WATCHING: Canada's Favourite Fall Activity
What type of holiday are you in the mood for? Adventurous types might love the rustic landscape of the north. Imagine watching the Northern Lights dance over your head as you relax under the sky at a luxurious lodge. Spot polar bears in Churchill, Manitoba, as they prepare to migrate. If it’s a North American family vacation you seek, then Walt Disney World and Disneyland should be high on your list. It’s a must-do for every family. Excitement seekers may be drawn to the bright lights of Vegas, for first-class entertainment and resorts.
During the Fall, there is no better way to savour the best of Canadian landscape than with a leaf-watching getaway. Whether you want to hike trails along the Bay of Funday, spend a week on the romantic shores of Cape Cod and Nantucket or vist Lake Louis and Banff in a spectacular Rockies escape...there are countless North American destinations to capture the magnificent colours of the season. There are also plenty of cruise options to help you see the leaves in bright lights!
With the world so readily available to us, it’s easy to forget what’s available in our own backyard in North America. If you ask your friends and family, many of them haven’t seen the glorious beauty of the Canadian Rockies, or eaten a lobster supper while sitting next to the ocean it came from. Canada has so much to offer as a North American vacation spot. Let’s not forget our neighbours to the south. The United States rolls out the red carpet for visitors too. From the sandy beaches of Florida, to the Grand Canyon, and the picturesque Pacific Coast Highway that stretches along California, the U.S. has its own unique beauty. Vibrant cities too like New York, Chicago, New Orleans, Los Angeles and Las Vegas delight Canadians with an energy that is truly infectious.
Further south, Mexico has been a longstanding favourite destination among Canadians with its fascinating culture, warm sun and soft sands. We’re discovering new areas of Mexico to explore all the time. Beyond Cancun, there’s the new resort area, the Mayan Riviera, the spectacular natural beauty of Los Cabos, and the cultural attractions of Mexico City.
