Featured Canadian destinations include Newfoundland's East Coast Trail, BC's Kettle Valley Rail Trail, Newfoundland's Gros Morne National Park, Ontario's Bruce Peninsula, Prince Edward Island's Confederation Trail, the Canadian Rockies, Quebec's Chemin du Roy, Ontario's Niagara Peninsula, BC's Okanagan Valley, Nova Scotia's Annapolis Valley, and Quebec's Eastern Townships. The quiz includes eight questions, answer explanations, destination context, score results titled Warming Up, On the Right Path, and Canadian Connoisseur, and calls to explore Great Canadian Trails hiking, cycling, culinary, and active travel itineraries across Canada.
