When it comes to taking in the autumn views, this spot is a show-stopper. You can gaze across a vast landscape of red, orange, and yellow from this rocky vantage point. Ontario's The Crack hiking trail is the road trip you need to add to your bucket list this season.

There's nothing better than a good lookout point during the fall season, and this place has it all.

Located in Killarney Provincial Park, The Crack hiking trail will lead you to some of the most stunning autumn scenery in the province.

The 6-kilometre trail will take you on a four hour trip to the top of Killarney Ridge, where you'll be treated to panoramic views of the world below.

Majestic white cliffs of the La Cloche Mountains rise from the ground around you, and a stretching turquoise lake adds an extra splash of colour to the scene.

The area is especially gorgeous in the fall when the trees transform into vibrant shades of orange.

To reach the lookout, you'll have to climb your way through a series of massive tumbled boulders known as "The Crack."

The trail is rated as difficult, and best for those in good physical condition.

It's suggested that you arrive early as the trail can take a while to complete. Plus, you're going to want to spend some time drinking in the scenery.

There is a $15.50 charge per vehicle, so bring your friends along for a gorgeous fall day trip.

This isn't the only spot to immerse yourself in fall colours.

You can explore these stunning lookout trails across the province for more autumn adventures.

If you're not up for a sweaty hike, you can wander these beginner trails to get your fall fill.

Do some stretches and head over to this jaw-dropping lookout point this season.
