60 of our favourite photos of Canadian fall foliage

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! No, not Christmas—it’s autumn. Across Canada trees are turning brilliant shades of orange, yellow, and red. Fall is the perfect time of year to go for a hike, a rural drive, or a walk near the cottage.

To celebrate the changing foliage, we’ve collected our favourite photos of fall scenes that our readers have sent us over the years.
