Ah, autumn…the leaves sliding from green to orange and red, sweaters and scarves are released from closets and it’s a wonderful time to jump in the car and do a few short jaunts to enjoy the season.
Here are three One Tank Trips definitely worth doing this season:

Conservation Areas – All around Southern Ontario
With nearly 300 Conservation Areas in Ontario, and the majority of them in Southern Ontario, there’s a plethora of choice to get some driving and walking/hiking time in.
As autumn’s colours converge upon us, the comfortable climate is ideal for soaking up the outdoors with family, friends and makes for a great date idea.
One of my favourites is Belfountain as the drive up Mississauga Road is gorgeous, there’s a waterfall and it’s got mixed terrain.

Waterfall Tour – Hamilton and surrounding areas
Put on a good pair of shoes and head west to the “Waterfall Capital” boasting over 100 of these wonderful waterfalls and cascades. From smaller, ribbon cascades to the larger, deep-drop wonders, it’s easy to spend a day walking, hiking and filling up your Instagram feed.
Webster Falls is the largest and if you find the right spot, you’ll get postcard worthy shots.
Devil’s Punchbowl treats you to a deep, multi-coloured gorge that’s simply stunning.
Felker’s Falls requires a bit of extra work but I assure you, it’ll be worth it once you see just how gorgeous and scenic this waterfall is.

Wine Country – Niagara-On-The-Lake and surrounding areas
We’re fortunate to live so close to this hotbed for wonderful wine and as such, it’s a quick hour-ish long drive to reach Niagara-On-The-Lake.  There are over 20 wineries in the region, each offering something different from the wines itself to tours, with plenty in between.
Autumn’s bursts of colours perfectly frame this radiant region as you create your own route map to your wineries. There are tour operators in the area that can do the driving as well.
From reds to white wines and big to boutique wineries, your time in the Niagara Escarpment and the picturesque Niagara River Parkway is a must-see.
