Run, walk and hike Canada
Hike along a path through a glorious park, run through a historic city or stroll along a local street — there are so many ways to explore Canada on foot. Discover the best places to walk, run and hike in the fall issue of Canadian Geographic Travel.

  • Go solo hiking in the Laurentians on La Traversée de Charlevoix and cross a bridge into the other solitude.
  • See your city as an urban studies classroom, in Ottawa and elsewhere, on a Jane’s Walk.
  • Get in touch with the land while barefoot hiking in the Yukon.
  • Explore Lake Winnipeg’s Hecla Island by slowing down and letting a six-year-old call the shots.
