Travel to Ontario ~ Canada Pictures & Information
Niagara Falls, Mississauga, Streetsville, Hamilton, Elora, St Jacobs
Travel to Ontario Canada: Have a look at my travel pictures of southern Ontario: Niagara Falls, Ontario -- possibly Canada's biggest natural attraction, not counting the Rocky Mountains.
Niagara Falls is about an hour's drive from Pearson International airport (YYZ), AKA Toronto International Airport but located in Mississauga, Ontario.
Hamilton, Ontario, located roughly between Mississauga and Niagara Falls, also has an international airport. Hamilton is about a half-hour's drive west from Mississauga; and most of Mississauga is a 20-40 minute drive to Toronto (Pearson) airport.
Streetsville Ontario is part of Mississauga, and retains much of its Village charm, with the hiking paths of the Culham Trail.
Rattlesnake Point, Elora, St Jacob's, Crawford Lake with its Iroquoian Village, Rock GlenArkona fossils and Kettle Point Concretions (kettles), Maple syrup Festivals, and a Beer Route tour are good day trips from the Toronto area.
Winter weather in much of Canada is snow and cold, making it the least favorite time for travel to Ontario, Canada unless you're an avid skier or snowboarder!
Winter weather can be sunny and fairly mild in Mississauga, and the next week, snowstorms can delay flights and make driving difficult (see Canada snow page for Mississauga snow pictures).
Summer weather is hot and humid, especially in southern Ontario, thanks to the Great Lakes that set up their very own microclimate. The best time to travel to Ontario to get the best weather, I think, is late Spring (June) or early Fall (September to mid-October). Some attractions open according to weather conditons, not according to calendar dates, so be prepared to change your plans as conditions dictate.
