8. KOUCHIBOUGUAC NATIONAL PARK, NEW BRUNSWICK
    New Brunswick’s Kouchibouguac National Park is an intricate blend of coastal barrier islands and inland habitats where beaches, sand dunes, salt marshes, bogs, rivers, forests, and fields all come together. There are colonies of grey and harbour seals and sea lions, and in the interior there are black bears, moose, and coyotes. North America’s second-largest colony of terns is found here, as well as other birds such as ospreys, bald eagles, and great blue herons.

9. GREEN GABLES, PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND
    Situated in Prince Edward Island National Park near Cavendish, Green Gables House was built in the mid-1800s. It was originally the home of cousins of the grandfather of Lucy Maud Montgomery, the creator of the spirited, lively, red-haired girl named Anne. The farm inspired the locale for Montgomery’s novel Anne of Green Gables. The home, grounds, and farm outbuildings depict the Victorian era described in the novel.

10. BIG MUDDY VALLEY, SASKATCHEWAN
    The Big Muddy Valley is located in a wide depression of eroded earth and sandstone along Big Muddy Creek in southern Saskatchewan. The badland formations in the valley are the result of flowing meltwater from glaciers that once extended all the way to Lake Superior about 11,000 years ago.
    The valley also has a nifty outlaw reputation. It was known as Station No. 1 on the Outlaw Trail that began in southern Saskatchewan and snaked south through Montana, Colorado, and Arizona into Mexico. It’s said that Butch Cassidy (the outlaw played by Paul Newman in the movie Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid) organized the trail and that many other desperados hid there in caves over the years.
    The picture was taken from high atop Castle Butte (70 metres/200 feet high), one of the more famous natural landmarks in Saskatchewan.

11. FORTRESS LOUISBOURG, NOVA SCOTIA
    The French founded Louisbourg in what is now Nova Scotia in 1713 after ceding Newfoundland and Acadia (New Brunswick) to the British. Over the next few decades the French turned Louisbourg into a major seaport and continually improved its fortifications. In 1745 Louisbourg was temporarily captured by the British, then returned to the French. However, in 1758 the British conquered the fortress town again. This time Britain demolished most of the fortifications and exiled the town’s inhabitants to France. Eventually the new British town of Louisbourg sprang up on the other side of the harbour. In 1928 the ruin of the fortress was declared a National Historic Site, and in 1961 Parks Canada began a major reconstruction. Today Fortress Louisbourg, restored to its 1744-era glory, is a major Canadian tourist attraction.
    The photo was snapped near the entrance to the fortress. All of the buildings in the picture are part of this magnificent fortress.
