Anywhere in the Canadian Rockies. Ditto for the west coast.

Some might disagree, but I enjoy everything from the prairies, through the Rockies, into the East Kootenays, to the desert climes of interior British Columbia, to the coast. I've never been further east than Winnipeg nor further north than Edmonton (which I hope to make good on some day), but in the little piece of Canada I've seen so far (all of which I have travelled by road), I'm proud of the country, proud of the people who inhabit it, and feel fortunate to be able to experience such a variety of landscapes and natural wonders within the country I call home.

Beautiful places in Canada? Yes.

Any Canadian who doesn't take the opportunity to visit the Maritimes at least once really is doing themselves a great disservice.

Been across most of the country, and love what I've seen. From the Eastern tip of Newfoundland (don't forget Gros Morne - unreal - on the must go back to list... http://www.google.com/search?q=gros+...w=1381&bih=735), to NS, NB and PEI... Good places. Quebec I really want to see Quebec City, I've heard it's spectacular...

Ontario... well, the Rideau Canal system, the shield country, home of Big Joe Mufferaw, the great lakes (helps I get off the beaten tracks)... Can't say I've seen much of Manitoba or Saskatchewan, but Alberta and BC I love.

If I were a young and single man though, I'd probably be up north of Lliard and into the Territories or Northern BC (Atilin maybe?). I did a canoe trip from Marsh Lake (south of Whitehorse) to Circle City, Alaska. I really want to take Dad on the stretch from Whitehorse to Dawson. Spectacular...

I've been from one end to the other. Rockies goes without saying. West coast of Vancouver Island. However, the hidden gem in my mind that equals all of them for sheer rugged beauty is Gros Morne National Park in Newfoundland. It's stunningly beautiful.

I was lucky enough to spend a week for work on the west coast of NFLD, 2 days at the rig, the rest touring around. Gros Morne was awesome and that trip certainly changed my preconceived notion of what "the rock" was.

Took my family to Vancouver Island last year and would love to go back for longer.

Of course being an Alberta boy I love the Rockies.
