I’m on a mission to put Belleville on the map for your Ontario summer adventures 🌞

This is way more than just a drive-by on the 401. Think: charming town vibes, scenic hikes, amazing food (I’m still dreaming about those perogies), and… turtles. 🐢

✨Here’s what I did (don’t forget to save the reel for the full breakdown!):
📍Explored downtown + coffee at Benji’s
🐢 Turtle Pond sanctuary
🥟 Lunch at Kafana (get the perogies!)
🌲 Hiked up Sager Tower (located in Quinte West just a short drive away)
🌮 Dinner at Pop-Ups on the Bay
🍓 Smoothies, wildlife, breweries & more on Day 2
🏖 Bonus: Presqu’ile for a beach day just 35 minutes away. 

For this visit, I stayed at the Holiday Inn Express Belleville, perfectly located for all your Bay of Quinte adventures. 👌

Everyone visits Banff,  but just an hour away, there’s also this. 👀

Grassi Lake in Kananaskis might just be one of the most underrated hikes in Alberta.

It’s short, it’s scenic, and the turquoise water? Totally unreal.

💦 Take the interpretive trail for waterfalls and forest views
⛰️ End at a lake so vibrant it looks photoshopped

So if you’re heading to the Rockies this summer, don’t sleep on Kananaskis.
Some of the best views are just off the radar.

💬 Been to Kananaskis or still on your list?
💾 Save this if you’re planning an Alberta trip!
