Canada is veritable outdoor scenery playground, with huge tracts of the country remaining untouched and undiscovered due to its massive size. This results in some truly gorgeous, tranquil and idyllic countryside, with alpine forests and lakes, snow-capped mountains and vast valleys and fields dominating the landscape. It all adds up to some absolutely amazing scenery, as well as backcountry skiing nirvana.
