Our Canadian travels this year is a circle tour around Huron and Superior – so it is both Canada and the northern U.S. Starting off with a week in Killarney!

Awesome Clarence. Thanks for commenting! We’ll announce our winner this coming week!
Adina Marguerite commented:
Ooo, I’m so excited for our trip this year! We’ll be driving up from Seattle to Bella Coola to spend about a week exploring the area and camping with our pup!
toque & canoe commented:
Oooh. We’d be very excited too! Thanks for following Adina. We’ll announce our winner this coming week! Either way, send us photos on FB!
Evelyn Senyi commented:
We’ll be taking an epic North American road trip starting from Saskatoon SK, traveling west through the Rockies than heading north to the Yukon and Alaska. We will then swing south to Prince Rupert, BC and travel the inside passage to Vancouver Island. Continuing south, we will travel the Olympic Peninsula and then head west across Washington, Idaho, Montana and Wyoming to Yellowstone. Then a quick trip across the prairies, north to Manitoba, around the north shore of Lake Superior, south to Manitoulin Island, the Bruce Peninsula and home to Toronto. Trip will probably take 5-6 weeks.
toque & canoe commented:
What a tour Evelyn. Sounds exciting. Post photos for us on our FB page! We’ll be announcing our winner this coming week, fyi.

I’ve lived in Alberta my whole life, but I’ve never been to Waterton Lakes National Park. I’m hoping to take a few days off in the summer to road trip out to Waterton.
toque & canoe commented:
We LOVE Waterton. Fire us some photos via FB if you can. We’ll announce our winner this coming week and thanks for following!
Erin MacLachlan commented:
We’ll be spending a lot of our time in the ontario wilderness. Ten days in Lady Evelyn Smoothwater park and eight days in Algonquin park. Lots of canoeing, portaging, swimming, and fishing.
toque & canoe commented:
Wonderful stuff Erin. Thanks for following. We’ll be announcing our winner this coming week so stay posted!
Sue Fairburn commented:
We’re doing our annual migration home (from Scotland) – to visit family and friends and soak up some proper summer. It usually involves a meandering road trip between Vancouver and Calgary, but we take a different series of roads each time. – stopping to swim in lakes, wander through stream beds, grab a local bite, and hike up hills. We do some wildlife spotting…and keep a tally of our sights each summer. Perfect!
toque & canoe commented:
Hey Sue! Thanks for this. Sounds like quite an adventure. We’ll announce our winner this coming week!

A 15 day camping trip from calgary to harison hot springs and back with a stop in the shuswap. Our fave place. Our 5 and 7 year love to camp.
toque & canoe commented:
Thanks for commenting Tracy. Camping with kids is the best. Post photos for us on our FB feed! Announcing contest winner this coming week.
Kathleen commented:
I will be spending a week in Newfoundland with a friend this July and at the end of August exploring more Ontario Parks (hoping to get to Algonquin this year!). I don’t expect anything less than amazing!!
toque & canoe commented:
Lucky you Kathleen. We’ve got someone reporting for us from Nfld right now. We’ll announce our contest winner this coming week!
Lee Gilbert commented:
Lots of trips here on “the rock” however a special 10 day trip on the northern secion of the Ottawa river in early August. Planning on circumnavigating the river from haileybury down to temiscaming and back up. This ill finish off a section of the Ottawa I have not paddled before.
toque & canoe commented:
Hey Lee. Nice to see you up here again. You’re package is in the mail from our last contest. Let us know when you receive. This contest winner will be posted this coming week!
Lisa commented:
We’re spending two weeks in beautiful Fernie, BC, hiking, mountain biking and swimming at Surveyor’s Lake. In August, we dump the kids at their grandparents’ house and head to Jasper to hike the Skyline Trail!
toque & canoe commented:
As you know, we have a HUGE crush on Fernie, B.C., Lisa. Looking forward to hearing about your hike on the Skyline Trail! Again, contest winners will be posted within the next week!
Jason Toner commented:
I’m spending the summer exploring my own area – and the rest of Ontario. Cottage weekends. Bike ride explorations in the county. Wine treks. Runs along the waterfront. Time to appreciate what we have locally.
toque & canoe commented:
We hear you Jason. We’re always in the backcountry here, just outside of Calgary. Beauty in everyone’s backyards, if they happen to be living in Canada. We’ll announce the winner of this contest within the week!
Laura McGowan commented:
Just got back from a 2 week road trip around Alberta!
toque & canoe commented:
Awesome Laura. What is most memorable for you from your trip? Curious! Contest winner to be announced this coming week!
Tina commented:
I’ll be spending my summer in Iqaluit, Nunavut! I would rather travel in the spring and fall, staying home for the beautiful arctic summer. Iqaluit is located just below the treeline, so the sun sets but it doesn’t get dark. It may not be hot, but it rarely snows. Arctic summers are fantastic!
toque & canoe commented:
Tina. How lucky are you!?! We’d love it if you posted a few photos on Facebook so we can see what it looks like up there. Definitely on our bucket list. 🙂 We’ll announce our winner this week! It’ll be a draw.
