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.

McMichael Canadian Art Collection- Kleinburg, ON
Much like the Hudson River School before them, the Group of Seven painted what they loved. In their case, it was the Canadian Shield, in all its glory. McMichael Gallery not only has a magnificent collection of their work, it is also the final resting place of several of the members.
