You climb for hours in killer heat until you reach the alpine lake- serene, rainbow-coloured, backed by resplendent white peaks, and practically deserted. Or you slither along an endless muddy trail until, drenched and filthy, you hit that beach at the end of the world just before sunset. Or you bump along a derelict road which shows your car's age and coats your tongue with dust, to be refreshed by the river's mystical jade pools at the end of the drive.

Unlike most humans now alive and the vast majority of those who've ever trod the earth, we who live iin relatively affluent countries are highly mobile creatures, priveleged to experience a variety of places. On vacation many of us like to stick to the tried and true-well-known destinations cherished for their scenery, thrills and amenities, distractions. Others prefer more obscure places, perhaps ones you have to hike, paddle, cycle or fly to, or spots accessible by car but off the beaten tourism track. From sea to shining sea, Canada abounds in these lesser-known beauties. As holiday season approaches, Maclean's showcases six of them, and Dr. Mond writes about some of his favorites.
