Itinerary

STOP 1

Start your day in a cozy cafe and fuel up on sweet treats and caffeine. We've recommended a few different options depending on the direction you're coming from. Drive time to your second stop is 20 minutes.

STOP 2

Get yourself ready for an outdoor adventure! In colder months, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and even tobogganing are available at this conservation park. In warmer months, there are several excellent hiking trails to choose from. Drive time to your third stop is 10 minutes.

STOP 3

A brewery break awaits! After all your outdoor adventuring it's only right that we sit you down for a nice meal. This brewery is housed in a surprising historic location. We've also recommended two alternatives if you're not a fan of brews. Drive time to your fourth stop is 20 minutes.

STOP 4

End the day your way! In winter months, twist and turn your skates over a frozen lake or bundle up for a short trail. In warmer months, we've recommended a few waterside trails with a fantastic photo op. If you're looking for a less active option, explore a couple of local shops & a brewery nearby.

Great mix of nature and city!

We loved the various nature-focused as well as city stops, which helped us get our steps in and also experience some local gems that we did not know about. We also appreciated the option to "choose your own adventure". We would highly recommend this trip to those who want an active, yet not strenuous, day trip!

Excellent!

This trip was a gift to a couple who had done a couple of your trips before. They told me this was their favourite so far! (I don't know many of the details so my other ratings are less accurate.)

Perfect Escape to Nature

This was our first Guess Where Trip and we enjoyed it from start to finish! All the stops were unique and places where we would have never known to visit. There were also a lot of options depending on how you wanted the day to go. Our favourites were Stops 3 and 4. Highly recommend!
