Halfway Log Dump- Bruce Peninsula National Park, ON
The Grotto may be the most popular park area in Tobermory, but the humerously named Halfway Log Dump (a timber reference) is the most scenic. Winding through the woods, the trail leads to a wide cobbled beach, beyond which lies a stunning stretch of Georgian Bay coastline.

The Grotto- Bruce Peninsula National Park, ON
Prior to living in Canada, I had an extremely limited knowledge of their National Park System. As in, limited to Banff and Jasper- the Canadian equivilant of Yosemite and Yellowstone. I certainly had never heard of The Bruce Peninsula, which may just be one of the most beautiful locations I have ever visited. You just don't know what you don't know.

Greenwich Dune Trail- Prince Edward Island NP
Winding through wetlands and coastal dunes, then across a pond via a floating walkway, the Greenwich Dune Trail might just be the most scenic in all of Prince Edward Island. Mostly flat, and under three miles round trip, it is breathtakingly beautiful and not to be missed.

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.
