Connect With Our Closest Neighbors - Natural Sites To Discover In Canada by:Ben Pate
Taking an international vacation doesn't mean you have to take an airplane
, and it doesn't mean you have to spend a whole lot of money. I've discovered that some of the grandest vacations are right near by, and one of these vacation destinations is Canada. Canada has so much to explore, and you don't need a full passport to get there. Passport cards, cheaper, more restricted versions of passports, were created to allow travel to areas around the United States without having to purchase a complete passport. And filling out a us passport card application (http://www.uspassportnow.com/services/PassportCard) can be done completely online.If you chose to vacation in Canada, you will not have to worry about understanding the people as most Canadians speak fluent English. Also, the Canadian way of life is also very similar to that of Americans so while you will have the opportunity see many spectacular sights, you will feel right at home with the people. Occupying the same continent also keeps you with like time zones so when it's time to go home, you won't have to deal with jet lag. If you decide to fly, you will need a passport so remember that a rapid new passport renewal (http://www.uspassportnow.com/services/PassportRenewal) service is available from any of the passport agencies you will find online.
UNESCO World Heritage Sites are places specially recognized for their importance in our history of humanity. These sites are either labeled as culturally or naturally important and must adhere to certain criteria before they are recognized. Canada has many of these places, a total of fifteen, meaning Canada has so much opportunity for discovery.
The Nahanni National Park Reserve is located in Canada and gets its name from the Nahanni River which runs through it. This beautiful waterway makes its way through the Canadian terrain until it empties in the Virginia Falls. Two times the height of Niagara Falls, you can only imagine the breathtaking view that is available to the visitor of this park. Also available for exploration at the Nahanni National Park Reserve are sulfur hot springs and tufa mounds thought to be over 10,000 years old and reaching approximately 100 feet into the sky. Exploring some of the open spaces and mountain caverns attract adventure seekers from all over the continent.
As children and even as adults, we all have a fascination when it comes to dinosaurs. Your fascination can be fulfilled with a visit to our next World Heritage Site. Dinosaur Provincial Park is a rich source of dinosaur fossils. It is, in fact, the richest supply of these antiquities in the world, sharing over 500 excavated fossils with museums in every corner of the earth. Scientists and visitors alike are enriched and educated concerning these prehistoric animals.
A site in Canada that provides a glimpse into the history of the earliest North American inhabitants is L'Anse aux Meadows. The Norse people visited this land before Christopher Columbus and their visit to Newfoundland can be chronicled in relics found in this historic area. This discovery provides deep connection concerning not only Canadian history but also the history of the entire Northern American Continent.
