With the days getting slightly shorter and the weather cooling off, it’s evident fall is just around the corner. Soon enough the leaves on the trees will begin their transformation, turning brown and gold, orange and scarlet.
According to studies by Environment Canada, due to this summer’s hot weather, the leaves will change earlier this year. There are plenty of incredible locations across Canada to get your fill of the fall rhapsody—and we asked our friends at Go RVing Canada to share their favourite places to view the beauty. Fall camping is a great way for families to reconnect with nature and experience the changing of the seasons, and after the extreme summer, the crisp autumn air will be a welcome change! If camping isn’t your thing, RVing offers families the comforts of home, with showers, bathrooms and warm beds accompanying your wilderness adventure.
