  • Have you heard about the Cheltenham Badlands? ☀️ No, this isn't some place on Mars or even in the prairies. This is Ontario. Last fall, the Credit Valley Conservation Authority re-opened the Cheltenham Badlands for visitors (since people were walking all over the fragile ecosystem and ruining it). ☀️ This geological feature reminds me so much of the badlands in Alberta; it’s easy to see why it’s called the "Ontario Badlands." ☀️ You can explore the area from the boardwalk and the viewing platform. But PLEASE stay off the landscape feature. • • • • • #begoodtothebadlands #RespectNature #CheltenhamBadlands #CVC #StepIntoNature #VisitCaledon #HikeOntario #OntarioTravel #BestOfOntario #womenwhoexploreontario #DiscoverON #ExploreON #YoursToDiscover #CanadianDestinations #OutboundOntario #ontarioforyou #TheCanadianCollective #explorecanada #sheisnotlost #letsgoeverywhere #mytinyatlas #postcardplaces #OffTheBeatenPath #GetOutAndExplore #prettylittletrips #shetravels #travelbreak #travelhappy #IdRatherBeExploring #thetraveltag
  • Did you know it’s National Lighthouse Day? The east coast of both Canada and the US have some of the prettiest lighthouses around. ⭐ 1. Owls Head Lighthouse near Rockland, Maine - Here, you’ll find a short lighthouse atop a hill. You’ll need to climb a few stairs, but the view is worth it. ⭐ 2. Rockland Harbor Breakwater Lighthouse, Maine - Located just outside the town of Rockland, this cottage style lighthouse sits at the end of a 1.4 km (7/8 mile) breakwater. You can walk the entire length and get up close to the building. It took me 18 minutes to walk along the rocky outcrop. It’s dangerous to do this during bad weather; you’ll be swept into the ocean! ⭐ 3. Bass Harbor Head Lighthouse, Maine - A Coast Guard family occupies the house next to the light, but you can get up close to the lighthouse and the original fog bell. Take the short Bass Harbor Lighthouse Trail to get some incredible views of the ocean, the red Acadia National Park rocks and the lighthouse all in one photo! ⭐ 4. Peggy’s Cove Light House, Nova Scotia - The lighthouse stands in all its glory on a beautiful weather-worn landscape looking out over the Atlantic Ocean. Its guiding beacon has been helping sailors since the 1860s. ⭐ 5. Covehead Harbour Lighthouse, Prince Edward Island - PEI has 29 lighthouses scattered along its red shores. One lighthouse can be found in Covehead Harbour on the north shore. It was built in 1967, in Canada’s 100th year, to protect Covehead Bay.

Do you have any parks near you that you've been meaning to visit? • • • • • #ExploreOP #OPpartner #FindYourselfHere #womenwhoexploreontario #DiscoverON #ExploreON #YoursToDiscover #Northumberlandt #TrentSevernWaterway #Northumberland #CanadianDestinations #ExploreYourBackyard #OutboundOntario #ontarioforyou #TheCanadianCollective #explorecanada #sheisnotlost #letsgoeverywhere #passportready #mytinyatlas #postcardplaces #OffTheBeatenPath #GetOutAndExplore #prettylittletrips #shetravels #travelbreak #travelhappy #IdRatherBeExploring #thetraveltag #TravelGirlsGo
  • 📍 Sunrise at Cadillac Mountain Up and at ‘em! Cadillac Mountain is the supposedly first spot in Maine and the continental US to see the sunrise. 🌄 While the exact place may be up for debate, the height of Cadillac Mountain and the beauty of the surrounding area certainly leads people to flock here every morning for a beautiful sunrise. ☀️ Would you get up at 4am to make it here for sunrise? • • • • • #AcadiaNationalPark #TrueMaine #FindYourPark #TheMaineMag #NationalPark #MaineInvitesYou #MaineThing #MaineIsGorgeous #MaineTravelCollective #WildMainers #ScenicME #MaineCoast #ExploreMaine #MyMaine #MaineTourism #MyTinyAtlas #DarlingEscapes #WanderFolk #PrettyLittleTrips #NatGeoTravel #PostcardPlaces #LetsGoEverywhere #AtHomeInTheWorld #AroundTheGlobe #CNTraveler #WomenWhoExplore #WomenLoveTravel #TravelInBetween #TravelHappy #GuardianTravelSnaps
  • I moustache you a question - how many moustaches do you see? 📍 Colorful rowhouses at Stratton Place, Portland, Maine.
  • H O M E 🌏 Where is home for you? My home is Canada, and more specifically Southwestern Ontario. I've lived in the area my whole life (minus half a year in Alberta). But home is here in Canada, from coast to coast to coast; there's something familiar with the landscape here. 🌎 So when you find a giant globe you wait 5 minutes to be able to point to your home country for this picture. 😜 📍 Eartha Globe, Yarmouth, Maine
  • 📍 Belfast, Maine
  • One of my favourite parts about visiting Almonte was the Riverwalk, a boardwalk and path along the Mississippi River in the historic downtown of Almonte. ☀️ The walk leads you from the Old Town Hall, along the cascading waterfalls to the Metcalf Geoheritage Park. I mean, I could have stared at these waterfalls all day!
  • 📍 Pemaquid Point Lighthouse, Maine 💡 This lighthouse is located at the southern point of one of the peninsulas along Maine’s coast. It was built way back in 1827 on the orders of US President John Quincy Adams. What’s neat about this lighthouse is where it’s located. 💡 The geological surroundings are striking, and the rocks look like they are folding into each other and the sea. Try to spot some of the sparkly white rock running like ribbons along the darker grey rock. 🦑 PS, I totally called this place “Permasquid” like a squid with a perm, but it’s called Pemaquid. Oops.
