Perfect Hiking Weather - Parents Canada
Perfect hiking weather!

It’s hard to believe summer vacation is only 2 short weeks away. Kids are already itching to be free and parents are already thinking about what to do with them when they are free! But for now, let’s just look at the weekend ahead. Many attractions are open and not quite busy yet so really, a day trip or family getaway is not a bad idea if your family likes more quiet, less crowds.

The weather has been great, sunny but not too hot, for outdoor activities including hiking, biking and playing at the parks. Time to get your kids outside and connected with nature – they will definitely benefit from it and have fun while doing it.
