I don't think anyone is ever too young or too old to take a road trip. Whether it's a pre- planned family get- away, a spontaneousweekend adventureshared between a few friends, or a romantic trip for two, road trips are sure tobe a memorable experience. Upon researching various cities worthy of a weekend road trip (leaving from Minneapolis), Idecided to writeabout the city dubbed 'the cultural capital of Canada,' Thunder Bay, Ontario. Roughly45 minutesfrom the Minnesota border, Thunder Bay is nestled amongst Canada's boreal forests surrounding the shorelines of Lake Superior.
The awe- inspiring landscapes not only make for breathtaking pictures, but are also a beautiful foundation for winter activities. Canada is rightfully known as a world- class skiing and snowboarding destination; due to long northern winters, massive snowfalls, and a feral assortment of mountains and ridges that hover the Canadian skyline. Although many (northerners, especially!) are not ready to don winter jackets and endure anothersubzero temperatureseason, the brisk air and sunny skies will soon be replaced with frostybreezes and powder covered grounds. So, instead of cringing at the thought of breaking out your electric blanket and snow scrapers, get excited aboutthe upcomingseason change by planning a Jack Frost- esque excursion.
