It isn't far from Toronto. 🍂
Looking to chase some waterfalls this autumn? You may want to take a trip to this dreamy destination.
Located just outside of Toronto, it's a waterfall paradise with endless cascades and breathtaking hikes waiting to be explored.
Hamilton, about an hour from Toronto, is known as the "waterfall capital of the world." According to Tourism Hamilton, the area has over 150 cascades, from towering natural wonders to smaller hidden gems.
Many popular waterfalls are only minutes from downtown, so you don't have to go far to soak up some stunning views.
You can hike along scenic trails to hidden cascades, or discover waterfalls just steps from the parking lot.
Some of Hamilton's popular waterfalls include Felker's Falls, tucked away in a scenic conservation area, and Albion Falls, known as "one of the most picturesque waterfalls in the region."
For a fall hike with incredible views, head to Dundas Peak and Tew Falls, located in Spencer Gorge Conservation Area, where wooded trails lead to a dramatic lookout over a valley filled with autumn colours.
Along the way, you can admire the falls, a slender ribbon waterfall surrounded by a colourful forest.
Another must-see is Webster Falls, a picturesque cascade also located in Spencer Gorge Conservation Area. The waterfall is especially beautiful in autumn, when the surrounding trees turn shades of gold, orange and red.
Hamilton has plenty of other scenic trails and waterfalls to explore, too.
The Devil's Punchbowl features a dramatic waterfall plunging into a rocky gorge, while Tiffany Falls is a dreamy stop along a short forest trail.
For another peaceful woodland escape, Borer's Falls is a scenic cascade surrounded by greenery, and the Chedoke Radial Trail is a great option if you're looking for a hike with nature and views of the Niagara Escarpment.
Keep in mind that some conservation areas have seasonal access rules, parking restrictions or reservation requirements, particularly during peak fall colour season. It's worth checking the latest details before setting out.
For more inspiration, you can browse Tourism Hamilton's Waterfall Guide to discover even more cascades around the city.
If you're looking for some last-minute fall hikes or new places to explore, the "waterfall capital of the world" is just a road trip away.

This Ontario village is a mini slice of Scotland with stone shops and historic charm
It's extra cozy during the autumn months. 🍁
Ontario is full of picturesque villages, but if you're looking for a place with a little European flair, you might want to take a road trip to this charming spot.
With quaint stone shops, historic architecture, and river views, it's a beautiful place to spend a day or longer.
The town is especially dreamy in autumn, when crisp leaves blanket the ground, and the little stores and cafes feel even cozier.
Perth is a charming Ontario town nestled along the Tay River, about an hour from Ottawa.
It was named after Perth, Scotland, and you can still see its Scottish roots reflected in the old-world buildings and quaint streets today.
According to the website, "you'll be amazed by the gorgeous heritage buildings lining the streets and the passageways that once served as horse lanes. With a Scottish influence, many of Perth's stone buildings were crafted by masons, making them a long-standing backdrop to the town's landscape. "
It's a magical spot to spend an afternoon sipping pumpkin spice lattes, wandering along leafy trails, and popping into local boutiques.
You can head to cozy cafes like Coutts Coffee Roastery & Cafe, North Folk Cafe, Jazzy's, and The Fieldhouse Bakery and Restaurant for warm drinks and cozy autumn vibes.
Since it just isn't fall without a sweet treat, you'll want to stop by Perth Pie Co., where you'll find everything from pumpkin pies to scones and gooey butter tarts.
There are lots of spots to grab a bite or enjoy a drink as well. The town's website highlights everything from "delicious pub eats to mouth-watering fine dining to thirst-quenching brews and spirits," so there's something for every taste.
Once you've satisfied your appetite, you can check out the Perth Museum, snap a photo with a replica of the town's famous giant "Mammoth Cheese," or wander around Code's Mill. This historic complex features five buildings and dates back to 1842, offering another glimpse into Perth's past.
Stewart Park is one of Perth's prettiest places to explore. Spanning five acres, the green space transforms into an autumn wonderland, with colourful foliage, winding walkways, and charming little bridges straight out of a storybook.
For more autumn views, you can follow the Tay River Towpath Trail for views of the river framed by brilliant red and golden leaves, or head to nearby Foley Mountain Conservation Area for sweeping vistas of the surrounding countryside.
Perth Tourism suggests stopping on the bridge in Stewart Park or following the Tow Path toward Last Duel Park, where you can take in the colourful scenery along the way.
October also brings Halloween fun to town, with seasonal activities like ghost walks and trick-or-treating.
With its historic stone buildings, cozy cafes, Scottish charm, and parks filled with fall foliage, Perth makes a picturesque destination for an autumn day trip or weekend getaway.

Voici pourquoi la chicane entre Varda et Marie-Chantal n'a pas été diffusée à Big Brother
Le lundi 25 janvier, Varda et Marie-Chantal ont dévoilé en confessionnal qu'un événement créait des tensions entre elles à Big Brother Célébrités. N'ayant jamais eu accès aux images montrant la chicane, les fans sont confus alors que des caméras filment les candidats 24 heures sur 24.
Pourquoi est-ce qu'une querelle entre deux candidats ne serait pas montrée, alors qu'elle affecte tout le monde dans la maison, et a même mené à la mise en ballotage des personnes concernées?
L'équipe de production de Big Brother explique ses raisons à Narcity.
La sélection de l'éditeur : Les fans veulent des réponses sur la chicane de Marie-Chantal et Varda à Big Brother
Big Brother Célébrités
Selon ce que Marie-Chantal, Varda et d'autres participants ont révélé lors de l'émission, la bisbille aurait commencé lorsque la chanteuse était sous médication pour sa dent cassée.
Cette soirée-là, Marie-Chantal aurait consommé de l'alcool malgré les contre-indications et aurait passé un commentaire au sujet de la santé mentale de Varda.
Cette dernière, qui essayait apparemment d'inciter Marie-Chantal à aller se coucher, rapporte que ce genre de commentaire est inacceptable.
Cela dit, les images n’auraient pas été diffusées, car elles ne servent pas à faire avancer le jeu côté stratégie :
« Leur récente chicane teinte fortement l’ambiance dans la maison. Comme ça influence l’aventure, il était important d’expliquer la situation et que les deux nous en parlent en confessionnal.
« Il se passe beaucoup de choses dans la maison et on se concentre sur les stratégies et le jeu. Il n’était donc pas nécessaire de rentrer dans le détail pour comprendre le contexte et pour le narratif de l’émission. »
On en voit donc juste assez pour comprendre les décisions stratégiques des joueurs, comme celle de mettre Marie-Chantal et Varda en ballotage à cause de l'ambiance que leur discorde apporte dans la maison.
Lors des dernières éditions d'Occupation Double, comme celle à laquelle Kevin a participé en Afrique du Sud, de gros conflits entre participants ont mené à des prises de positions et des vagues de haine du côté des Québécois.
La section commentaire sur les comptes Instagram de certaines personnalités de téléréalité a déjà dû être fermée, et des messages haineux ont été reçus par centaines par les participants.
Certains ont donc proposé que le « drama » entre les candidats qui n'amène rien au « narratif de l’émission », comme le fait Big Brother, ne soit pas montré pour éviter ces comportements.
