Cincinnati <-> Calgary

Hey y'all, I am planning a road trip from Cincinnati Ohio to Calgary Alberta. It will be Mid November. Approximately the 4th through the 18th depending on how many days I decide to make it and to spend in Calgary. I am aware of what this means weather will be like in these locations, as such the first photo will be the way to Calgary, and the second will be the return trip.

I am looking for landmarks or small towns y'all recommend stopping at. I have a strong interest in nature as well as small towns and the culture and history in various areas. I am stopping in Wyoming on the way back, likely in Buffalo so that is set in stone. I also want to see Glacier National Park for certain.

Beyond that I am open for places to visit, whether it be your favorite restaurant, to a beautiful national park, to a graf wall in the middle of nowhere. It will be driven in a larger SUV as such semi-off-roading is possible.

Aggressive "Free Rose" scammers operating outside Ripley's Aquarium / CN Tower

Just a heads-up for anyone heading Toronto downtown, visiting, or with friends/family in town.

There is currently a group of people operating on the public sidewalk right outside Ripley's Aquarium and the CN Tower pulling the classic "free rose" hustle. They target couples, families, and tourists by aggressively forcing a rose into your hand or your partner's hand, calling it a "gift."

The second you hold it, their demeanor changes and they aggressively block your path, demand cash ($5–$20+), and try to guilt or embarrass you into paying. Because they stay on the public sidewalk, venue security can't easily intervene.

If you see them:

• Do not take the flower. Keep your hands to yourself or at your side.

• Keep walking and give a firm, loud "No thank you."

• Warn any tourists around you if you see them falling for it!

Solo trip in the dead of winter

Doing a solo travel trip to Toronto in the dead of winter, Jan 30-Feb 3rd. Looking for recommendations on what I should do with my time. It will be my first time and I’m coming from sunny California 🙃

I’m a 35yo female interested in sports, any LGBT events or experiences, and anything to do with geology.

QC / Montreal in December?

Hey! Am an international student, studying in Toronto for the next couple years. My partner is coming down to visit me for a couple of weeks in December.

We're mainly planning to be in Toronto but wanted to do a weekend trip of sorts - and were wondering whether Montreal is a good idea? Neither of us have ever experienced snow / winter, and were hoping to get that classic cozy Christmas vibe. Would Montreal be a good option - with maybe a day trip or two down to QC? Or would it be too cold / miserable?

Any recommendations for winter activities / events / food in these places would be much appreciated as well :)

Perfect leaf peeping timing

It was a total joy visiting the Jacques Cartier National park and staying in a near-ish cottage in Sainte-Brigitte-de-Laval. And all the leaves were aflame all the way! Even just driving around was incredibly beautiful, among all those wild mountains.
