It’s that time of the year where everyone is already fed up of 2017 and looking to go on a life changing trip. But, the truth is that most of us Montrealers are young, broke, and restless. So, instead of heading across the globe, why not take advantage of living right next to Ontario! I guarantee that these trips are so epic that your mind will be totally blown.
It seems to me that we Montrealers complete forget how amazing our neighbor Ontario actually is. Ontario will surprise you in multiple ways since it seem like a tropical destination sometimes. These places are absolutely gorgeous and super fun for everyone! The price is relatively cheap and I can promise you that you won’t regret making the trip in your own province.

Killarney Provincial Park is home to its infamous "Crack ". What I mean by this is that the Crack offers one one of the best lookout points in the entire province. It is a four hour hike to the top but it's filled with beauty and wonders! Plus, you can even enjoy rock climbing!
Located in Katherine Cove, be sure to check out bathtub island where you can truly relax and enjoy the view! This hidden gem is perfect for a life changing experience!

10. Potholes Provincial Park Will Change Your Life
Potholes Provincial Park is located near Chapleau and trust me, it is a fabulous cite to see! It features unique rock formations within a thick, boreal forest, stunning caverns, miniature waterfalls, hiking trails, bird watching, and much more!
The badlands themselves are closed off to the public, but that hasn't stopped anyone! I do encourage you to hike to the magical viewpoint that gives you a beautiful, sweeping overview of the natural phenomenon.
Waterfalls sure are beautiful the most spectacular ones include Chedoke Falls and Hamilton's Albion Falls. A beautiful and relaxing spot to come and visit in the summer, Albion Falls will totally blow your mind!
If you happen to take a trip to Tobermory, then you MUST check out Flowerpot Island! It is only accessible by boat which makes it that much more secretive and fabulous!
Sauble Beach is located on the eastern shore of Lake Huron and features clear fresh waters. It is the second longest freshwater beach at 11 km next to Wasaga Beach, which is also in Ontario. You can go swimming, play beach volleyball, do some paddleboarding, windsurfing, fishing, water skiing, golfing, and much more.
