Great article! I am so lucky that I’ve already seen five of seven wonders of Canada. I took the Journey Behind the Falls this summer and was amazed by power of Niagara Falls. Rockies are my favourite road trip and 1000 Islands are on my travel list.
Thanks for all information.
Great saying! I try my best to live by it too – but sometimes it’s hard to travel without having expectations.. Ottawa seems like a nice place
We are in Tofino BC and can’t believe Tofino and surrounds are not on the list….this place is awesome!
Lovely! I barely know only 3 of these wonderful places, I hope to know them all! I love your blog, btw.
