My 5,000 mile solo road trip from Northern Kentucky through Eastern Canada began yesterday! I researched and booked it about six months ago. First I drove about seven hours to Chaffee, N.Y. and this morning will be driving to the finger lakes area of New York where I’ll be hiking in Letchworth State Park, Watkins Glen State Park, Taughannock Falls State Park and Buttermilk Falls State Park in New York.

From there, I’ll be exploring seven Canadian National Parks: Mont Tremblant, De la Mauricie, De la Jacques-Cartier, Saguenay Fjord, Cape Breton, Prince Edward Island, and Fundy. My last stop on the drive back will be Acadia National Park. I’ll also be visiting Quebec City, Halifax, and other destinations. I’ll be traveling for about 3.5 weeks. I’ve never been to these areas, so I’m quite excited!
