Not sure where you want to go? Here are three great adventures to get your mind wandering and maybe inspire your next Canadian Road trip: Quebec City, Haliburton and Tofino.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Tofino, British Columbia.<\/strong> Looking for something truly picturesque? Head to Canada\u2019s surf capital \u2013 Tofino. Get your family on a ferry from Vancouver to Nanaimo and drive along the Pacific Rim Highway for a truly breathtaking view of mountains and lakes, along with rainforest. The area is also known for its trees, which grow in spectacular sizes. Some trees are believed to be 1000 years old.<\/li>\n
  2. Haliburton, Ontario.<\/strong> Truly the quintessential summer escape from the big city, you\u2019ll practically feel the stress lifting as you start driving into cottage country. There are several scenic route options, dotted with great ice cream parlours along the way, which all lead to good times ahead. Whether you stay for the day or rent a cottage, you\u2019ll want to make sure you stop at Webers in Orillia, a Canadian burger landmark since 1963.<\/li>\n
  3. Quebec City, Quebec.<\/strong> Whatever direction you\u2019re coming in from, stop in a few francophone villages on your way into the old city to soak up the culture, food and French! Making your way through the beautiful and lush countryside, you\u2019ll be thrilled to arrive at your final destination: old Quebec City, a city full of history, architecture, cobble stone streets and endless charm.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
