Parks & Scenic Locations

Tenorio Volcano National Park- Guatuso, Costa Rica
Located about an hour and a half from La Fortuna, Tenorio Volcano National Park offers an all around excellent rain forest experience. Featuring a relatively easy hike, it packs a huge scenery punch, including the unbelievably beautiful Rio Celeste waterfall.

HTO Beach & Park- Toronto, ON
Located on the banks of Lake Ontario, you'd expect Toronto to have an exciting waterfront. Until recently, you'd have been fairly disappointed, unless you like creepy abandoned factories.
-
Kinzua Bridge- Mt Jewett, PA
Kinzua Bridge is an excellent example of both an early civil engineering marvel, and the awesome power of nature. Visually stunning, it's definitely worth the detour to see in person.
-
Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge- Cambridge, MD
If you have never seen a Bald Eagle in the wild, Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge is the place that can make it happen. Although the number varies depending on the time of year, the refuge hosts over 150 of the black and white birds, so the odds are most definitely in your favor- even if you never leave your car.

Ireland Park (Arrival)- Toronto, ON
Tucked away at the base of Bathurst Street in Toronto, in the shadows of the imposing Canada Malting Silos, sits Ireland Park, commemorating those who fled Ireland during the Great Famine (1845-1852).
