Great way to spend a Saturday

My husband and I were looking for something unique for our anniversary. We wanted to be outdoors, active and go somewhere we haven’t been before.
This day exceeded our expectations and we definitely found some hidden gems.

A delightful day!

We had the opportunity to do this trip this past Sunday. Thank goodness the weather cooperated and did not rain. We had the best time. This trip is definitely one for people that enjoy doing things outside and is one of the more active trips we have done so far. Loved it! Cannot wait for our next adventure.

Kingston Scenic Tour

This would have been a great trip except the weather was not good and several of the places on it were not open yet so could not do the trails. I would recommend it closer to summer. My ratings reflect these circumstances.

Great scenic route

I've driven this route a thousand times and have never thought to stop along the way. Found a bunch of cool hikes restaurants and other places. Can be done in reverse if heading from Toronto - Ottawa.
