Walking on top of a glacier, feeling the ice, drinking the water. There's nothing quite like it. See any glacier you can! Athabasca is pretty accessible, which makes it a good place to go if you've got young kids or don't feel like walking too far. Pack warm clothing! The ice regulates the air temperature so it can feel cool on any day.

My least favourite thing about Niagara Falls is the city that's built up around it, so this short walk along the gorge is a good way to get out into nature beside the river and do your best to forget the urban sprawl that is right next door. The current and whirlpools are really stunning and worth seeing to broaden your experience of the actual falls.

It's true that Niagara Falls is a must-see, but do so knowing that the falls are surrounded by some of the most appalling urbanization I've ever seen—casinos and arcades and hotels and everything you can imagine that could ruin a geological wonder. Still worth seeing, especially if you turn your back to the city and just walk along the river beside the falls, but every time I visit it gives me a melancholy. Just imagine if it had been made a national park instead.
