Local Trips to Take When You Don’t Want to Travel Too Far

If there is anything the pandemic has taught us (from a travel perspective), it is to appreciate the destinations we have close by! While some travelers might feel comfortable traveling to international destinations, we completely understand that others would prefer to stay close to their homes and explore the destinations they can drive to or avoid long flights for! Take the opportunity to explore your own backyard and save some time and money while getting to know your nearby destinations with these local trips to take when you don’t want to travel too far:

Western Canada

Canada might be known for its chilly winters and snowy seasons, but this beautiful country can be praised for so much more! Home to some of the most breathtaking national parks on the planet, a trip to Jasper National Park, known for its extraordinary views of the Canadian Rockies and its abundance of wildlife, will truly take your breath away! And let’s not forget about Banff National Park — where you may discover otherworldly views of the gorgeous bright turquoise waters, breathtaking meadows, fascinating rivers, and magnificent glaciers in the vast Canadian wilderness. Top this off with a trip to Vancouver, Canada’s emerging coastal city where you can see breathtaking views of the ocean and mountains simultaneously, and spend a few extra days in Whistler, Clearwater, Calgary, and Canmore for one of the best local trips to take!

Making your way out east, you will see a completely different side to Canada!

Take a trip to Toronto, the most multicultural city in the world, where you will discover fascinating neighborhoods devoted to different cultures. See the CN Tower along with the beautiful harbourfront before you visit Quebec City, known for its magnificent European-inspired architecture.
