Cape Chignecto Provincial Park hosts one of the few multi-day backpacking trails in Nova Scotia.

This is a backpacking trip not to miss.

Breathtaking and mind-boggling beautiful from almost start to finish, the Maple Pass Loop trail in Washington has to be the most rewarding and satisfying 12km I have hiked anywhere.
The Grizzly Lake trail is a 23km journey to the foot of the some of the most spectacular mountains in Canada. Here’s everything you need to know to plan your own trip!
Tombstone Territorial Park is an unusual place. For one thing, it is host to the most incredible rugged mountains you could ever imagine. Secondly, you are actively encouraged to hike away from the trails.
