    We readers in New Brunswick should never buy another Readers' Digest. Where else in Canada can you walk on the ocean floor with the magnificent Hopewell Cape Rocks towering over you and have your footprints covered six hours later with 40 feet of water?

    The best hiking is in Yukon! How can you overlook the Chilkoot Trail or Tombstone? I have been to many of these other locations and while beautiful, they don't exceed the beauty of the aforementioned hikes.

    How could you not have any from waterton nation par?
