Ah, the true North strong and free, the land of lumberjacks and maple syrup (though it’s so much more than these stereotypes). Canada has long prided itself on its great outdoors and with vast swaths of pristine wilderness, ranging from Arctic tundra to rocky mountains and deserts, why shouldn’t Canadians take pride in their wild homeland? Canadians love to get out and explore the great outdoors, whether it’s 35 degrees or -35 degrees, and so Canada is full of amazing parks and trails, all across the country. Here are some of the best day hikes available in the Great White North.
Duck Mountain Provincial Park, SK
Saskatchewan may not seem like a first-choice destination for hiking, but the prairie province truly gets the short end of the stick. Duck Mountain Provincial Park, at the southern edge of the province’s boreal forest region, is testament to that. The Trans Canada Trail runs directly through the park for 14 kilometers, right on the border with Manitoba, which offers the chance to hike in 2 provinces with relative ease. Duck Mountain is a gem on its own, though, with rich flora and fauna, including nodding trillium, mountain maple and 180 species of birds. Meadows, wetlands, forests and lakes are all within reach. For the true nature enthusiast, Duck Mountain offers a wilderness hiking experience unlike any other.
Acadian Trail, Cape Breton Highlands National Park, NS
Climb to the highland interior of this scenic Nova Scotia park 365 meters above the Cheticamp River. Take in panoramic ocean views and mountainous terrain as you trek through the Cheticamp River valley, up steep inclines and across streams. Keep an eye out for black bears, moose and other wildlife that inhabit the lush forest near the Acadian coastline. The loop is 8.4 kilometers from start to finish and will take about 3 or 4 hours to complete. Part of the renowned Cabot Trail, this loop is home to groves of hardwood trees, making it a spectacular—and colorful—autumn hike.
Les Deux-Criques Trail, La Mauricie National Park, QB
Nestled in the Laurentian Mountains, Les Deux-Criques is a 17-kilometer trail in La Mauricie National Park. It’s rated as a “difficult” hike by the park, in part because of several up-and-down climbs on the trail. The entire length will take about 7 hours, but you’ll probably want to pencil in extra time to stop at some of the lookouts along the way or photograph the Ruisseau du Fou waterfall at the far end of the trail. And yes, it’s called “Deux-Criques” because there are 2 creek crossings. The trail makes up the final leg of the 75-kilometer Laurentians backpacking trail, which provides additional opportunities for hikers looking for more than a 1-day adventure in the boreal wilderness.
Bruce Trail, Southern and Central ON
Not only is the Bruce Trail Canada’s oldest and longest marked footpath but it’s also a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve. With 890 km of main trail running from Tobermory to Niagara, doing the entire trail in a day is impossible, however there are easy ways to make a day hike out of it. The trail is divided into 9 sections, each varying in length and those sections can be further shortened to whatever length is suitable for your day trip or individual preference. Most sections (with the exception of some northern areas) are fairly easy going terrain and are suitable for people of all hiking skill levels.
Sea to Sky Trail, Whistler, BC
One of the most ambitious new developments in recent years is the Sea to Sky Trail, which will run between Whistler and Squamish. When completed, it will comprise a total of 180 kilometers, from sea level near Squamish, high into the mountains near Whistler. The Whistler section of the trail is 33 kilometers in total and has already been completed with wide, often paved, pathways. One of the best sections is between Brandywine River Falls and the Cheakamus River Crossing. Visit the falls, then follow the winding, hilly trail over a suspension bridge and along the riverside through the forest. After crossing a second suspension bridge and the river, you’ll arrive at the site of the 2010 Olympics Athletes’ Village.
Fundy Trail, NB
The Bay of Fundy’s claim to fame is that it’s home to the world’s highest tides, so it only makes sense that there’d be a wonderful hike in this amazing location! Wrapping around 16 kilometers of cliffs, the trail opens up previously inaccessible portions of the Fundy coastline, one of the few coastal wilderness areas between Labrador and Florida. The area is also renowned for its marine life, being a prime breeding ground for Right whales. Waterfalls, Precamb

Kanada - Canada East, what a Country! - Canada HD Travel Channel
Canada is a classic immigration country, whose indigenous population migrated over the Bering Strait more than 20,000 years ago. They were the ancestors of the Inuit and the Indians or First Nations, as they are called politically correct in Canada, who cultivated the American continent. Presumably, also small groups from China and Polynesia immigrated.
At the beginning of the 11th century, the Vikings founded first settlements in the north of Newfoundland, but these did not last for a long time. In 1497,Giovanni Caboto landed on the coast of Labrador. The Frenchman Jacques Cartier took possession of the region around the St. Lawrence river for France in 1534. In the 17th and 18th centuries, the Englishmen followed the Frenchmen.
Many Americans who had fought on the side of the Brits immigrated after the American War of Independence. Italians, Germans, Ukrainians, and Poles followed in the 19th century. Today, many Asians, especially from the People's Republic of China, come to Canada.

Kanada ist ein klassisches Einwanderungsland, dessen Urbevölkerung vor über 20.000 Jahren über die Beringstrasse einwanderte. Es waren Vorfahren der Inuit und der Indianer bzw. First Nations, wie diese in Kanada politisch korrekt bezeichnet werden, die den amerikanischen Kontinent kultivierten. Vermutlich gab es auch Einwanderungen kleiner Gruppen aus China und Polynesien.
Zu Beginn des 11. Jahrhunderts gründeten die Wikinger erste Siedlungen im Norden Neufundlands, doch hielten sich diese nicht lange. 1497 landete Giovanni Caboto an der Küste von Labrador. 1534 nahm der Franzose Jacques Cartier das Gebiet um den St. Lorenz-Strom für Frankreich in Besitz. Im 17. und 18. Jahrhundert folgten den Franzosen die Engländer.
Nach dem amerikanischen Unabhängigkeitskrieg wanderten viele Amerikaner ein, die auf der Seite der Briten gekämpft hatten. Es folgten im 19. Jahrhundert Italiener, Deutsche, Ukrainer und Polen. Heute kommen viele Asiaten, vor allem aus der Volksrepublik China, nach Kanada.
