Canada

There is no better way to explore Canada than by hiking around the Canadian Rockies, its lush rainforests, and coastal trails. Since moving to Canada, after backpacking through South America, I’ve spent most of my free time in the backcountry. Whether you’re new to hiking or have done it many times before, there are trails for all levels. Hiking in Canada is a chance to slow down, breathe in fresh air, and see nature at its best.
