where's your favourite place to hang out in Canada?

I really haven't travelled much of Canada, unfortunately, but it's a goal of mine...

In the meantime, I think my favourite place to hang out is the Danforth in Toronto... great Greek district and they have fantastic stores there to shop...

 

Vernon, British Columbia, or Vancouver

 

-the montreal tam tams
-the hedley monks cave near the old mountainside mine town of hedley, in the samilkameen valley of british columbia
-barron canyon in a canoe, algonquin provencial park, ontario
-kensington market, downtown toronto, ontario
-the top of the rotary tower observation deck on a cold Abbittibi fall night in Val d'Or Quebec, watching the steam rise up from the forestry processing factories
-skating on the rideau canal, in winter, Ottawa, Ontario
-canoeing up the rideau canal, in the summer, into Ottawa after making the first stroke 6 days prior in Kingston, Ontario
-Parliment Hill, Ottawa, Ontario
-driving through the Laurentians on a sunny October day, Quebec
-standing atop Mont Orford, just outside of Magog, Quebec, looking, southward, to the vista of the apalachian mountains stretching long and well into Vermont
-swimming across kosh lake, in the kawarthas of Ontario, from my unlces place to fish rock
-flying over the mountains of Gaspe, Quebec, and getting your first glimpse of Canada in 4 months
-driving up the east shore of Vancouver Island to Comox, British Columbia
-pond hockey, on a sparkling north ontario winter night, surrounded by the Boreal Forest

 

Wharf Street, Victoria, BC

 

WCT

 

WCT? what's that?

my fave place to hang out in all of canada is in my own little world. it doesnt matter where i am, i can usually find some bliss just about anywhere. like a friend of mine once said, there's even beauty in a clearcut if you look hard enough (flowers, fresh starts, possibilites...)

 

ahhh, you've been canoeing there too eh?
yea it is simply breathtaking. have you ever walked along the path at the top of the canyon looking down? its VERY scary...it runs like 2 or 3 feet away from the edge and theres nothing to stop you from just falling over the edge...

 

no, never made the hike to the top, I just enjoyed drifting down through the canyon as slow as I could and looking up, got some amazing photos

 

The West Coast Trail, check out my pics to see why i love it.

 

When I am not on CFB Borden/Wasaga Beach is the place for me.

 

I skydive in that area!!

 

I live in London.. so nowhere.

 

Love your pics BlackGuardXIII. Shanfalls looks absolutely incredible. Would love to check it out someday

 

As for cities... Commercial Drive area of Vancouver is pretty funky. As for the countryside... that's a tough one, girlfriend and i like 'The Chief' in Squamish BC which is a 500 metre cliff that looks out over Squamish and the river (the hike up makes the view all the more rewarding)... Tofino is also BEAUTIFUL, on vancouver island. Eastern Canada is a whole other kind of appreciation.

 

Barron River canyon is beautiful...



Another good picture but bigger...

my new favourite place to hang out in Canada:

Haida Gwaii (Queen Charlotte Islands)

paradise, no shitting you

 

Awww,you guys are making me homesick,I'm living in England right now and it is beautiful but nothing can compare with the tranquility of the rocky mountains.

 

I would have to say pretty much anywhere on Vancouver island,
especially tofino, or on radar hill at sunset. Or in the crazy bog, where the trees look like brocolli!

Also, on the praries in saskatchewan during a crazy lightning storm.

 

SK is beautiful when there is anything cool going on with the sky. The land just falls away and it's just you and the Universe.

There is a lake, in the middle-north of SK, called Greenwater Lake. The water is yucky some summers, but the park is amazing. At night I would go swimming off our deck, swim out into the middle of the lake and float on my back watching the northern lights flicker in their purples and golds and greens. In August, when the Leonid Meteor Shower comes, I would lay there watching it all happen.... and the loons would sing.

 

Two more places of interest would be The Annapolis Valley in Nova Scotia and the Okanagan Valley in British Columbia.

(Wasaga has a nude area now)
