As the flowers start to blossom and the snow begins to melt away, there will be tons of different activities happening within the city of Toronto. However, what happens if you want to escape the hustle and bustle? Explore something new? Or just enter yourself into the world of wilderness? I lived in Vancouver for four years and I was blown away by how tranquil I would feel when I decided to escape the city for a day. However, I recently discovered that the beauty of the outdoors doesn't stop when you leave BC.
