Canada's Largest Outdoor Mantle Show: Rocks Invade Mars Lookalike
KEY POINTS
- ā¢A traveler visited all 10 Canadian provinces, favoring lesser-known spots over Ontario's tourist-heavy areas.
- ā¢At Gros Morne National Park in Newfoundland and Labrador, they admired exposed Earthās mantle and unique carnivorous plants.
- ā¢They biked Prince Edward Islandās 278-mile Confederation Trail and kayaked British Columbiaās Johnstone Strait, learning from Indigenous guides.
Between July 11, 2024, and a mysterious update on September 2, 2026, a brave soul toured all 10 Canadian provinces, skipping Ontario's tourist stampede for stuff like exposed Earth's mantle in Gros Morne's UNESCO World Heritage 'rust land.' Thereās no digging neededājust stare at Mars' cousin terrain, complete with carnivorous pitcher plants that make Venus Flytraps feel pedestrian. Then, family bike trips ensued on Prince Edward Islandās 278-mile Confederation Trail, past red potatoes and Canadaās tiniest library in Cardigan, proving even bookworms need scenic views. Meanwhile, British Columbia served kayaking with Steller sea lions and otter dock parties, plus lessons from the original Tlowitsis Nation residents that locals probably slept on since forever.
