Travel Forum / Destinations / USA and Canada / October 2005Planning a trip during vacation
During mid-November, my family plan to have a trip in Canada. Which is the best place that we can see the beautiful maple trees? I am looking for suggestions. Give me some advice, please.

Thank you! The best places to see the fall colours would be in southern Ontario or Quebec, but the colour season runs from late September to mid October. They are usually all gone by the end of October. This year the colour change has been delayed and the leaves are just starting to fall. By mid november you are likely to see the first snow fall.

Never the less, when someone is talking about autumn colours I am thinking of the vast hardwood forests of southern Ontario, Quebec and the north eastern states. As beautiful as Vancouver Island is, it just doesn't have the same type of forest. I have heard from Europeans who think they have their own fall colours, but after following links to their pictures of fall colours, I have to say that they just don't compare. You really have to see Ontario and Quebec's fall colours to know hoe spectacular they are. Last year I was driving to Montreal in early October. There is a stretch of highway just inside the Quebec border where there was a forest of maple trees on both sides of the highway. Between the bright orange, red and yellow of the leaves, the forest seemed to be glowing, even on an overcast day. >>>The best places to see the fall colours would be in southern Ontario >>>or Quebec, but the colour season runs from late September to mid [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > orange, red and yellow of the leaves, the forest seemed to be glowing, even > on an overcast day. The problem is that they will be long gone until next year. I think the poster was trying for somewhere that might still have some color. > During mid-November, my family plan to have a trip in Canada. > > Which is the best place that we can see the beautiful maple trees? > > I am looking for suggestions. > Give me some advice, please. Thank you! Hello Chen Canada is a very large country. Whereabouts exactly in Canada will you be traveling. As of right now in some parts of the country leaves are totally gone. And by maid November it's getting a little late to find any leaves on trees in Canada. |
