Inn to Inn Horseback Riding in the Cascades
Mentioning horseback trip through the wilderness may conjure up images of smoky campfires, dusty bedrolls and cans of beans. There’s nothing wrong with these things, but sometimes you want a little opulence-or, okay, a lot of opulence-after a good hard ride. From the catered gourmet lunches on the trail to the spa services guests can purchase at night, this is the ultimate luxury riding experience-one of the few of its kind offered in Canada.
Northern Ontario Canoeing Mystery Tour
Wild women expedition’s popular mystery tours follow top secret routes to remote destinations. No one knows where they’re going until they arrive, the idea being to keep these clandestine routes out of the regular old guidebooks. We can tell you this : it’s a women only flat water canoeing journey with lots of portages, so you should be reasonably fit and damn well prepared for adventure.
Kayaking The Bay Of Exploits
The Bay of Exploits has more than 30 islands and the perfect mix of adventure and history for paddlers. New foundland’s early inhabitants, the Beothuks, used the area as a refuge and hunting ground before their extinction in1829. Now remnants of European homesteads are still found on the isolated islands, along with diverse plants, animals, and rock formations. Expect to travel five to six hours a day sheltered from the open ocean, exploiring the area’s natural and cultural history when you’re not paddling past iceberg of every shape and sixe.
Trekking Through the Katannillik
This 60 kilometer hike through Nunavut’s Katannillik Territorial Park, an arctic oasis on southern Baffin Island, will take you along the Soper River, designated a Canadian Heritage River in 1992 because of its natural beauty and cultural significance to the Inuit people. The areas has a surprising abundance of vegetation, including unsually large. 75 years old willows and vivid flowering plants that bloom mid July to August. The 10 day trip covers the most beautiful part of the park, an area rich with wildlife like caribou, wolves and foxes.
Cycling the Saguenay and Lac St. Jean
You don’t need mad cycling skills to enjoy this road ride along Quebec’s Saguenay Fjord, one of the world’s longest and deepest inlets. You’ll travel 50 to 150 kilometers a day as you circle Lac St. Jean, with side trips ( a hike near Saguenay National Park) and activities (whale watching at the mouth of the St. Lawrence) to break up the ride. Evenings are in bed and breakfast in communities along the route. The trip is best suited to a hybrid bike and rentals are available.
