Fall Colors: Ontario's Glory.
Autumn is Ontario's greatest season and fall colors tours are the best way to enjoy it, whether it's by by car, coach, train or boat. Here are some photos of fall colours as a sampler before you visit Ontario in person. The first image is at Robinson Lake near
Algonquin Park.

This next photo is not so far from
Toronto,
in Durham Region -- Pickering to be exact.
Durham Region lies to the east of the Greater Toronto Area and comprises the towns of Whitby, Oshawa, Ajax, Pickering, and Uxbridge, as well as smaller communities such as Port Perry, Bowmanville and Clarington.
After the yellow maples above, I thought some red ones would be good. Maples are either vivid red or yellow. Other trees, such as oaks, are usually orange shades, while shrubs such as sumacs and burning bushes are fiery crimson, much darker than the maples.
You've probably guessed from all these
autumn colours
pages that I'm a big fan. Well, you guessed right, I am a big fan and I encourage visitors to make at least one of their trips here in the fall.

The peak fall colours' time depends on where you are in the province. The farther north the earlier they begin and end. And, of course, above the northern shores of Lakes Huron and Superior in the west and north of Timmins in the east, there are few deciduous trees to change colour. Generally, the peak lasts from mid-September to mid-October in the southern end of the province
and about a week earlier in the northern areas.
