1. Skiing in Whistler, British Columbia.
2. Hiking near Peyto Lake in Banff National Park, Alberta
If you're ready to see the most naturally brilliant blue that exists on Earth, head here, where the views of the glacier-fed lake are absolutely dreamy. You can hike and fish too, though it's safe to assume you'll spend most of your time just staring in awe.
3. Partaking in Calgary Stampede festivities.
Every July, hoards of people flock to Calgary to take part in the region's most famous festival. For 10 tiring but exhilarating days, more than a million people come to enjoy rodeos, food, stage shows, parades, competitions, concerts, and more.
4. Biking the Canadian Rockies.
5. Antiquing in Saskatchewan.
Rise and shine, and head out early to comb through troves of antiques. Saskatchewan is home to many delightful flea markets and local antique stores, where you can easily spend an entire morning (and afternoon!) rescuing incredible items and collectables.
6. Snowshoeing in Manitoba.
7. Skating Ottawa's Canal.
When the Rideau Canal freezes over, locals and out-of-towners come to enjoy "the world's largest skating rink." Don't worry if the 7.8-km jaunt wears you out — you can always relax alongside the path with snacks, hot chocolate, and generous people-watching.
8. Strolling in Old Québec City.
As you walk along the charming streets of Old Québec, consider the rich history that surrounds you. Churches, cathedrals, the citadel, museums. There's a lot to see and appreciate in the only remaining fortified city in North America, so rest up!
9. Canoeing in Killarney Provincial Park, Ontario.
10. Exploring Hopewell Rocks, New Brunswick.
The tides here are some of the world's highest. When they roll in, it's possible to kayak amongst the incredible rock formations. And when low tide comes, you can switch to walking along the ocean floor, collecting shells and marvelling at how nuts the Earth really is.
11. Visiting Peggy's Cove, Nova Scotia.
12. Rock climbing in Squamish, British Columbia.
Rock climbers the world over swarm to Squamish to scale the abundant cliffs, crags, and bluffs located here. Most notably, they come to conquer the Chief, a 700-metre granite dome overlooking the surrounding community and waters below.
13. Living on the edge in Toronto.
Awaken your senses with a truly dizzying experience. Toronto's CN Tower offers unparalleled views of the city. And if you're up for giving the EdgeWalk a go, you'll see the city below while balancing — hands-free — on a 1.5-metre-wide ledge.
