FollowCanada is a very beautiful country, but it is also quite large land wise. It is hard to choose what you should go see and experience. Of course there are wonderful cities like Montreal and the infamous Niagara Falls. But what if you wanted to know about the hidden gems in Canada? Here are a few of those little hidden gems that you should put on your must see list.
- Smithers, British Columbia
Located just a few hours west of Prince George is this quaint little mountain town. There are snow-cap mountains with impressive peaks in the backdrop. The Bulkley River brings fishermen to the area with its King Salmon and Steelhead fishing. This town has a classic Main Street with Canadian flags and a wooden bugler welcoming you to the area. Smithers is one of those towns that just captures your heart. Whether you are into first-class hiking or supporting local stores, this town has you covered.
- Ottawa, Ottawa
Now Ottawa is a big city and many people have heard of it. However, it doesn’t quite get the attention it deserves. This is one of the most lush, and beautiful cities in Canada. You can spend the afternoon watching the boats go through one of the oldest locks, or city in a local coffee shop and watch the town roll up. Ottawa is where you want to go if you want to experience firsthand that Canadian kindness you’ve often heard about.
- Whitehorse, Yukon
The Yukon Province has the smallest population of all the provinces. Whitehorse is located along the AlCan headed towards Canada. This town is the largest in the territory, but has all the small town charm you expect in Canada. There are guides to take you hunting or fishing, and a downtown area that is sprinkled with local merchants.
