10 epic Canadian journeys to add to your travel wish list

Rabbitkettle Hot Springs and Tufa Mounds (Naha Dehe), Nahanni National Park Reserve, Northwest Territories
If you’re feeling extra adventurous this summer, try making the trek to the gorgeous hot springs at Nahanni National Park Reserve. We’re not kidding about calling it a trek — almost all visitors arrive at the park via chartered floatplane (the rest hike in). Once you’ve arrived, you may embark on a canoe trip to Rabbitkettle Lake. It will take between 7 and 14 days, depending on your start point, which means when you finally arrive, you’ll have more than earned that adventurer title. Just remember to plan carefully: the best time to visit is between late June, post-spring floods, and mid-August, when fall weather starts to set in. And remember to get the proper permits ahead of time!
