Earlier this year, in search of cheaper travel options, I decided to look no further than my own backyard. I’ve lived in the province of Ontario my whole life, yet I realized that I hadn’t really seen very much of it. I scoured through Google, Pinterest and other sites for information on facinating sights and places in Ontario that are unique and showcase a rare beautiful landscape or scenery.

After an amazing summer, having had to the chance to visit some pretty amazing places such as the Bruce Peninsula and Ontario’s very own badlands, I decided that I would delve even further into finding even more unique spots in this great province.
