A Snowy Long Weekend In Canada
SEO Blog Excerpt:
We flew from Richmond to Toronto the morning after getting engaged on my birthday and drove north to Muskoka for a snowy three-day escape at JW Marriott The Rosseau Muskoka Resort & Spa. From a four-course fondue dinner in the snow-filled Ice Caves and Valentine’s Day ice skating at Johnston’s Cranberry Marsh to snowshoeing Scenic Caves and a –15°C Crystal Head Vodka Ice Bar tasting, this Canadian winter getaway was equal parts adventure and romance. If you’re looking for the perfect Muskoka winter itinerary, this long weekend guide covers where to stay, what to do, and why we’re already planning our return.
Snowshoeing the Blue Ridge Parkway: Cold Miles for a Big July Goal
We snowshoed the Blue Ridge Parkway while it’s closed for winter to train for the 108-mile Tour du Mont Blanc trek in July. This post covers cold-weather endurance training, using weighted Osprey packs, the importance of proper backpack fitting at REI, and our favorite post-hike stops in Crozet, Virginia.
