Bic National Park, Quebec
Bic National Park never came up during any of my research about beautiful National Parks to visit, I had combed over the map a few times without seeing it, it was only when I decided nothing was in the area that I just googled campgrounds and it popped up. What a pleasant surprise, these trails…

Sinkhole in Paradise, New Brunswick
Come one come all! Come see the stuck Americans! I have zero recollection of booking this campground in January, but boy am I amazing. The early bird gets the worm, we have the single best spot in the entire campground. Directly on the ocean, we can sit and read by the bus while the kids…

Saguenay Fjord North Shore, Quebec
Although we have a two hour drive today, the drive today is part of the destination. We are switching over to the northern side of the fjord and will spend the day driving along and around Saguenay Fjord, one of the beautiful drives of North America. After celebrating Fathers Day we got to our new…

Saguenay Fjord National Park, Quebec
Sometimes a National Park is created to protect one obvious natural wonder, that’s Saguenay Fjord. A National Park created to protect something so beautiful, we together as a society will make sure it lasts for future generations without privatization or gatekeepers. The area is stunning. We now have entered the Boreal Forest. This type of…

Quebec City, Quebec
People are quick to tell you the Quebec City is the most European city in North America. We heard it from people when planning our trip and I’ve heard it repeated several times from other travelers we have chatted up on the trip so far. It’s time to see what the fuss is all about.…

Happy Birthday Everest
The day started so perfectly. Fitz, Mom and I snuck out early and decorated the campsite. Everest awoke right in time and came out right as we finished, I have a hunch he may have been watching us, sneaky little nine year old. We opened presents and blew out the candles sticking out of some…

Parc National de la Mauricie
Our second National Park of the summer is La Mauricie and like the last one, I just saw the words National Park and booked it, I have no idea what made this area so unique that it is worth protecting . You could sense what it was on the drive in. The forests kept getting…

Montréal, Quebec
We finally got hit with our first day of less than perfect weather and it came in the form of a huge storm with consistent heavy rainfall. We can’t be mad given the incredible weather this far and luckily this downpour couldn’t have happened on a better day. I really enjoy being in the forest,…

Thousand Islands National Park, Ontario
I didn’t count them all, but I trust them, that seems like an accurate assessment. There are tiny little islands everywhere, the majority of which seem to be occupied by either the most unimaginably elaborate mansion or a small wooden shack being held together by early 1900’s craftsmanship. Wouldn’t it be fun to live on…

Day One: Watkins Glen, New York
Finally made it to Watkins Glen. For years I have been intending to visit here and for whatever reason, it’s been avoiding me. People have been asking me if I have ever been to Watkins Glen for fifteen years and now I finally know what they were talking about. Watkins Glen is a state park…
