Sometimes in the middle of\u00a0 researching for our travel websites you come across some of Canada’s great adventures. I am not talking about the ones you read about in the paper every year nor the ones which seem to get all the global press. No.. I am talking about the small town Canada adventures.<\/p>\n
Sometimes the villages with populations of a few thousand have a few incredable adventures that take your breathe away.<\/p>\n
However, adventures come in all shape and sizes. Some are tough, multi day journeys deep into the wilderness while others can be an easy day hike at a lake with great scenery.<\/p>\n
Sometimes a memorial adventure is one with a simple pleasure at the end of a day hike. A waterfall, a cliff, a cave, a hot spring or some wildlife. It is always a plus of any adventure when you have the oppotunity to enjoy it without large crowds.<\/p>\n
Maybe that is why the outdoors is so therapeutic. Because I know when I am sitting on top of a mountain peak after a long hike or after I have paddled a few lakes that I am at peace and I feel refreshed.<\/p>\n
During our adventures when researching Bro and I would sometimes seperate at times as our responsibilities took us in sometimes different directions. It is a perk of being a brother team I guess. Divide and conquer.<\/p>\n
There were many times when researching in the Yukon I came across a cool hike. It happened when researching in Faro. Faro is a small village in Central Yukon. You must travel hundreds of miles along dirt gravel roads to get there.<\/p>\n
Faro is a bit of a mining ghost town on the rebound. It has allot heart, as it is working on becoming more of a tourist destination. The area has the wilderness to work with, so there is a headstart. They just need to get the word out better and develop a marketing strategy.<\/p>\n
Visiting Faro was a solo mission. My Visit was on the way back from Dawson City. Bro was heading back to Watson Lake via the Klondike and Alaska Highway. I was to take the Robert Campbell Highway side route and meet in Watson lake.<\/p>\n
In Faro I learned that they have some\u00a0 wilderness viewpoints in the mountains and are developing a recreation trail system. The Van Gorder Falls Trail lead to a viewing platform over a waterfall (main photo). It was one of those hikes which surprises you in a good way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
