What a fantastic opportunity. National parks are truly a treasure that I hope everyone gets the chance to enjoy.

There's nothing quite so serene, calming or peaceful as a hike through a beautiful forest, with the muted sounds of trees and leaves whistling in the wind, or the view from the top of a mountain peak after a difficult, but satisfying, trek. For any Canadians out there, or those who'll be visiting, do yourself a favour and visit at least one this year.
