Come view and even try your hand at what some people call “living art,” more commonly known as stained glass. Everyone is welcome to drop by the studio to chat with Elizabeth Hertz, who has been creating this artwork since the late 70s. After your chat, head to The River Dragonfly, conveniently next door, to browse her work for purchase and other Canadian artisans.

This gorgeous course, surrounded by tall forests and rolling hills and close enough to get that fresh mountain air, is a must-stop for all golfers. Offering an 18-hole championship course that will make even the best golfer sweat. Stop after your first nine holes at the Caddy Shack to get an ice-cold beverage and hot dogs. Not a golfer? Stop at the Clubhouse Restaurant and Lounge to enjoy delicious food and its stone fireplace.

Not for the faint of heart. This challenging 12.9km hike takes about 4 hours to complete with all different types of terrain to navigate. Still, the view at the end is worth all of the uphill and downhills, and not to mention, you will get an opportunity to explore a cave which just adds to the overall experience.
