This adventure has a bit of everything - a cute Ontario town, a hike, a store that's become a land mark and a goat farm to round it all off!

We're starting in Port Hope, a beautiful town that sits on the banks of the Ganaraska river. It's well know for the beautiful Victorian architecture of its historic downtown with quaint shops and cafes. For the horror films among us, it's also where the IT movies were filmed!

Port Hope is the start of the Ganaraska trail so we're going to do an out and back of the first 5 km of the trail to take us along the river and up to the town's salmon ladder. The migration will likely have finished by now but the Ganaraska is one of the top salmon migration spots in this part of Ontario.

Returning from our hike, we're jumping back in the van to visit Primitive Designs, the wildest shop you've ever been to. It's stuffed to the brim with 30' fire breathing dragons, fossils, hand made art, pretty much anything you can think of. It's overwhelming and absolutely bonkers.

After some time checking out the creations at Primitive Designs we're making our final stop at Haute Goat a farm that, you guessed it, is all about goats. We'll have a look around the farm, finding adorable goats and stopping in for a hot drink and cake before making the return journey back to Toronto.
