Popular tourist attractions in Prince Albert National Park,Canada

When to go : As with most parks in Canada Prince Albert is busiest in the summer months of June to August. Catch the forest's fall colors in September when the crowds thin and the weather is still mild. One of my favorite spots is the 5.2 mile Spruce River Highlands Trail says park interpreter Bradley Muir. It' s one of the only places where you can get above the trees to see the crowns of the hills and surrounding panoramas which play best in the fall. Golden aspen leaves on the crowns orange and gold tamaracks in the lowlands it really reflects one of the core messages of the park which is the transition from south to north. The park welcome cross country skiers lake skaters backcountry snowshoeing and ice fishermen in winter although accommodation and amenities are limited.

How to get around: Prince Albert contains extensive hiking trails for all levels although you might prefer a guided horseback and wagon ride with an operator such as Sturgeon River Ranch. Horses allow you to cover more ground and the Sturgeon River guides are experts at tracking the elusive bison which typically graze in remote meadows buffered by thick woods. Traveling single file on horseback is the best way to navigate through the brambles mud and other obstacles and venturing into the backcountry increases the likelihood of seeing moose mule deer and black bears.

Popular tourist attractions in Newfoundland and Labrador Coast, Canada

When to go: The best time to see icebergs is from mid May to early June along the northeastern coast of the island of Newfoundland and from March to July off the coast of the mainland Labrador region. By late July early August icebergs still may be visible along Newfoundland' s northeastern coast from St. Anthony down to Twillingate. While it's impossible to guarantee you' ll see icebergs it pays to track their progress online before you visit. How to get around: It's a different experience when you see an iceberg from land as opposed to getting up alongside and feeling its size and awesomeness explains James Gillard of Skipper Jim' s Boat Tours. Twillingate' s Northland Discovery Boat Tours also allow passengers to view the floating shards from outboard and tuqlike motorboats. Stan Cook Sea Kayak Adventures runs half full and multiday guided trips along the east coast. Public transit is limited in Newfoundland so you'll want to rent a car in the capital city St. John' s before heading up.
