Trail Reviews

1. Plain of Six Glaciers Trail – Banff National Park, Alberta
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)
If you want jaw-dropping mountain scenery and a sense of adventure, this is the trail for you. The hike offers sweeping views of Lake Louise before winding up into the heart of the Rockies, with glaciers towering overhead. The trail ends at a quaint teahouse where you can sip hot chocolate with a view of ancient ice fields. Moderate difficulty, but worth every step. Best in late summer when the snow has melted from higher sections.

2. Cape Chignecto Coastal Loop – Nova Scotia
⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4/5)
Rugged coastal beauty at its finest. This multi-day loop offers dramatic cliff views over the Bay of Fundy, home to the world’s highest tides. Expect steep climbs, remote campsites, and plenty of wildlife spotting opportunities. Trails are well-marked but physically demanding — perfect for seasoned backpackers. The sunsets here are unreal, and the crashing waves below make for the perfect lullaby at night.

3. Garibaldi Lake Trail – British Columbia
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)
A West Coast classic, this trail leads you through old-growth forest and alpine meadows before revealing a turquoise lake framed by snow-capped peaks. The water is glacier-fed and icy cold — perfect for a quick dip if you’re brave. Campsites at the lake are in high demand, so book early. Best visited in July–September for wildflowers and snow-free trails.
