TRAVEL GUIDE: ONTARIO

The province of Ontario is probably most famous for the gushing beauty of Niagara Falls, but the area offers much more than this flashy natural show. The Great Lakes line its southern border, making this area a prime spot for fishermen, Toronto offers museums aplenty, and a drive in the countryside will let you view the green landscape and quaint small-town charm of more-secluded areas.
