Once again our amazing staff of writers and photographers have laboured with love and experience to share these interesting and informative articles with you . Collectively they have so much wisdom and curiousity that they can ' t help but find some new topics to write about . We hope you enjoy them .

And as I scan our table of contents I see we have articles to satisfy the hiker , mountain-biker , camper , backpacker , adventurer , fitness-minded , road cyclist , canoeist , newbie , kayaker and whitewater rafter . That ' s a pretty broad audience .
Yes fellow outdoor enthusiasts summer feels like it ' s just begun with these hot days and hazy nights . So find your comfort level and either turn up the heat or cool yourself down .
If you ' re too hot and want to cool down then enjoy the following activities : paddling the Muskoka River X ( the water will keep you cool ); trail running ( p . 32 ) ( stay cool as you fly through the shady forest ; whitewater rafting ( p . 21 ) ( Wilderness Tours , Ottawa City Rafting and Owl Rafting have the perfect solution ); glamping or hotelling at any of our favourite staycation listings ( p . 43 ).
Likewise , if you ' re seeking the heat with a sort of Bikram yoga approach to sweat , then you ' ll love : the Huck Finn lessons on campfires ( p . 5 ); hiking for fitness in these hot sunny days ( p . 11 ); mountain biking local trails until your quads burn ( p . 37 ); or just camping by your bonfire with guitar in hand .
The summer is here and the bugs are leaving . Enjoy it deep into the autumn season . Happy trails .
