Autumn Colours: Running Ontario’s Credit River Valley
With Fall Colours in the Greater Toronto Area likely amping up to full volume this weekend, it will be a great opportunity to take a break from the inanimate grey surroundings of our cities and investigate Mother Nature’s brilliance. Shooting through the rolling hills of the Credit River valley, here are three route suggestions presenting the best of the season, combining sinuous drives, scenic hiking, spectacular art and not to mention a bevy of markets, dining and shopping options. The day trips will leave your mind, body and soul refreshed and ready for the onslaught of a not-too-distant winter. Get out and enjoy (in our opinion) Ontario’s best season!
