Quote:What do you find the greatest park? Any holiday advice?
To answer the title question: my favourite national park is the one that is a stone's throw away from our cottage: Bruce Peninsula National Park. :wub: I love to hike there. The Bruce Trail has its terminus at Tobermory, in the Park. I have hiked many sections of that trail, enjoying the various views and topography. The escarpment is just amazing, with some of Canada's oldest trees growing off the cliffs. For more visions of the beauty of the area, there is a series of aerial photographs here to tantalize.
The greatest park is another question altogether. (You didn't really think politics could be left out of any thread here, did you? :whistling:) The greatest parks are the ones that protect the most fragile things, in my opinion.
But there are parks that I would love to visit. Jester's suggestion, Iguazu, has been on my 'wanna see' list for a long time. I love waterfalls. I am lucky enough to live near Niagara Falls, so I can visit it several times a year. (My eldest lives in the city there.) I still mourn every time for the lost wonder of it, since only half the flow actually goes over the brink now, but I go anyway.
Another park I long to see is Oulanka National Park in Finland. Or Ukkusiksalik National Park off the north west coast of Hudson Bay and Torngat Mountains National Park at the northern tip of Labrador.
Edit: those pyto's that sneak in... <_<
