Started from the bottom, now we’re here. If you want to take your summer adventures to whole new levels, then you need to hike to the incredible lookout point at Mount Nemo Conservation Area. On clear days, you can even see the CN Tower from here. 

Located roughly one hour from the 6ix in Burlington, Ont., this charming conservation area is full of hidden gems for you to uncover. Including the famous Brock Harris Lookout.

From this amazing spot, you can get a birds-eye-view of the sights below. 

And when the weather allows, you can even catch a glimpse of Toronto's famous tower.

And the best part? Mt. Nemo is typically not as busy as the nearby Rattlesnake Point or Kelso Conservation area. 

So you can take in gorgeous nature views without the big crowds. While you’re here, you can make your way through natural caves, lush forests, and giant rocky cliffs.

In the summer the area is fluttering with butterflies and wildflowers. How’s that for some natural magic?

At the time of writing, Mt. Nemo Conservation area is open by appointment only. So be sure to reach out on the area’s website before you visit. 

Now, let’s go exploring!

If you’re someone who craves adrenaline, you can explore the rock climbing routes at the conservation area as well. 

You’ll want to make your way to the lookout point by sunset though, because the views can’t be beaten.

The space is open daily from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. and admission to the area will cost you $6.50.

But you will need to make a reservation before you visit. So lace up those hiking boots, it’s time to get out and explore the caves, cliffs, and lookout points at this incredible Ontario spot. 

Adventure awaits.
