Canada
O Canada!
Another beautiful country in which the land is so incredibly vast and untouched that the only way to really appreciate its true size and worth is to take a road trip right through it!
From large cities to open fields, towering mountains and powerful waterfalls, wild animals and natural parks, northern lights, and the midnight sun. This place really has something for everyone!
If you are American and want to feel like you're getting out of the country without technically ever leaving your home continent, Canada has it's own currency, language and metric system to keep you on your toes.
But don't forget, you'll still need a passport!
Here you will find information and pictures from the following locations:
NIAGRA FALLS, ONTARIO
Located in between New York and Ontario is a 12,000 year old waterfall plummeting 44 millions gallons of water per minute over a 167 ft cliff.
