"Once you take in the gorgeous natural scenery along this 382-mile trip, you’ll forget the drab industrial landscape of Sudbury, 250 miles north of Toronto. From there, the nine-hour train trip takes you along the southern edge of Ontario’s immense boreal forest while traveling past sparkling lakes and rivers, along with the roaring Onaping Falls. Guest stars along the way will likely include the bears, moose, and beavers who call this part of the province home. The trip ends at White River, a onetime rail town that dates back to 1885. Where to stay: Chain hotels predominate in Sudbury; your best bet is the Radisson Hotel Sudbury in downtown’s giant Elm Place mixed-use development. Centrally located, it features a well-equipped fitness center, heated pool, and low-key rooms outfitted in mustard and brown."
