If you're in the urban sprawl of western Lake Ontario and you're feeling the need for a break immersed in nature, head to the escarpment and get lost in the trees. You won't regret it. If you can, though, get farther away from the city!

Definitely worth visiting if you're on the Lake Superior coast! The rugged wilderness will be sure to make you want to linger. Visit the cliffs of the southwest section for incredible views over the lake and surrounding landscape. Recommend that someone in your group learns the Ojibwa legend of the Sleeping Giant and tells it over a campfire.

Great little part of Montréal, if you're in the city and have some free time you should definitely do some exploring on the mountain. Don't just stick to the paved viewpoint, go check out the other trails and views all around. Not wild by any means, the hum of the city is always present; but a good bit of nature that is easily accessible.
