Lots of families like to take vacations in the summer and plan to spend a lot of time outside. Sometimes, though, it’s too hot for that to be enjoyable. Here’s a suggestion: check out Canada’s Great Trail! Our northern neighbors enjoy cooler summer temperatures and beautiful natural scenery. It is about 90% complete at the moment and the goal is to have it fully connected by the end of this year. From coast to coast, it will cover 24,000 km of terrain–some paved, some dirt–that passes through wilderness, urban areas, waterways, towns, forests, and just about every other kind of landscape there is. It has been worked on by thousands of volunteers and is made possible through federal, provincial and private contributions. If you are bikers or hikers, I highly recommend looking into an excursion on the trail.
