In a country as beautiful and diverse as Canada, there are endless gems that rank supreme on our bucket list. The country boasts provincial parks encompassing thousands of square kilometres of lakes, record-breaking waterfalls, mountains, plains, coves and even historic lighthouses. Let’s face it, Canada has it all, so let’s take a closer look at everything The Great White North has to offer. Here’s all the inspo you need (with a side of travel FOMO).

In just six hours, you can watch the high and low tides along the Bay of Fundy that carved these picturesque Hopewell Rocks.

Its romantic accents and polished architecture make it noticeable from wherever you stand in the old part of town.

Great Sand Hills, Saskatchewan

The Great Sandhills of southwestern Saskatchewan provide a unique desert-like experience of just sand and sky. As much as you try to capture it all in one image, it will never entirely fit in the frame.
