8 Amazing “Drive-Up” Mountain ViewsIn a recent blog, we looked at the tallest mountain in each Canadian province and territory. But not all these summits are visible from the road. There are many more majestic masses that aren’t title holders for height or elevation. But upon gazing at each of the peaks below, you might find yourself feeling like you’ve never really seen a mountain before you saw any of these. Money Saving Tips for Hybrid and Non-Hybrid OwnersWhether you own a hybrid, are thinking of buying one, or don’t have any such plans, you can save some substantial coin (and help save the environment) by driving like a hybrid owner. For a leisurely autumn drive, a morning commute, or a bread & butter trip from point A to point B, here are six ways you can use your hybrid – or lessons learned from hybrid driving styles – to your advantage: 5 Ways You Can Track the Fall Colour ChangeShould we go or should we wait a few more days? Finding the perfect front-row seat for the majesty of the fall colour change is equal-parts location and timing. Finding the right location is largely a matter of preference (and sometimes a little word-of-mouth). Finding the right time is now a simple matter of consulting the right web service. In Minnesota, the Department of Natural Resources even has a fall colour change app that brings the latest updates on fall colour to your mobile device. Roadside Stop-offs Between Eastern Ontario and BCThe trip from Upper Canada to the Pacific can be a five-day sprint or a multi-week odyssey. At the very least, something between these extremes is highly advisable. Along the way, hundreds of little-known roadside stop-offs await curious adventurers. Check out our province-by-province showcase of zany curiosities, quirky eats, and – always good for a picture (or a Tweet…or Facebook post) – big ol’ stuff on the side of the road: Five Amazing Breakfasts in 5 ProvincesOne of the best parts of getting underway each day on a road trip is the chance to sample rich, delightful breakfasts in places we might not otherwise go. While such a meal can be as simple as cereal, fruit, or a bagel, sometimes (actually most of the time while on vacation), you just have to treat yourself. 5 Overlooked Things You Should Do For Your Mountain Bike Whether you own a beat-up big-box-store special or a racing bike that costs more than your car, there’s more to keeping your mountain bike in good shape than inflating your tires to their proper pressure. 11 Great Ontario Late-Summer TreksAs June turns to July and July edges into August, the hot, sticky summer gives way to mild late-summer breezes (or – just as likely – more hot sticky days that make you wonder when the mild balmy breezes will begin.) If you’ve planned well, your late summer adventure will be the stuff of legend for you, your special someone, and/or your whole family. Six Elements of a Truly Great Road-TripNo single page can hope to contain all the amazing possibilities for a good ol’ fashioned driving vacation, never mind all the elements that will make such a vacation fun as well as possible. In the interest of providing a starting point for both power-planners and those content to go whichever direction the wind blows, check out our six-element recipe for a spectacular road trip: Five Reasons to Travel to Ontario’s 5 National ParksMost people think of provincial parks like Algonquin or Killarney when they envision wild spaces in Ontario. The 11 WORST Driving Fouls We’ve Ever SeenFoul or FAIL, below are hands-down the craziest, crassest, ill-advised, and just-plain worst driving sins we’ve seen in some time.
