This stunning conservation area near Toronto has one of the 'best views' in Canada

Get those hiking boots ready!

Lead Writer, Travel

You can hike your way to gorgeous views at this beautiful conservation area near Toronto. With scenic trails and towering lookouts, it boasts one of the top views in the country.

Digital financial service provider Remitly recently revealed Canada's top 30 best views, based on over 483,000 traveler reviews.

The study showcases breathtaking destinations nationwide and includes five Ontario spots, one of which is a majestic hiking area near Toronto.

Mount Nemo Conservation Area is known for its gorgeous scenery and towering vistas.

Located an hour from Toronto in Burlington, it's a beautiful spot to stretch your legs and enjoy the outdoors.

According to the website, it "tends to be a favourite park for nature-enthusiasts, thanks to the unique escarpment-edge ecosystem and the incredible biodiversity that thrives at the park."

One fo the highlights of Mount Nemo is the Brock Harris Lookout, which offers expansive views across more than 50 kilometres of rolling hills and scenic countryside. On a clear day, you can see all the way to the CN Tower.

To get to the lookout, you can follow either the North Loop Trail or Bruce Trail from the parking lot.

If heights aren't your thing, "there are still an abundance of cliffs, crags and caves waiting to be explored" closer to the ground, according to the park.

Reservations are recommended, so it's a good idea to book your visit ahead of time.

The other Ontario destinations that made the list of Canada's best views are the Niagara SkyWheel, Niagara Observation Tower, Goderich Lighthouse and Menesetung Bridge.

Bear's Hump in Waterton Lakes National Park, Alberta, was crowned the best view in the country.

If you're looking for a beautiful hiking spot, Mount Nemo Conservation Area is worth a road trip.
