Transport from Toronto, gear and guides are included, and the colour forecast for each destination is the one on the rest of this site.

How the trips and the forecast fit together
The forecast is the useful half. Ontario turns north to south over about six weeks, so the same trip is a completely different day depending on which weekend you take it, and picking the weekend is the part most people get wrong. Every location we track carries a predicted peak window, and the weekend scores on the homepage rank them for the coming Saturday.
A trip above that goes somewhere on that list links to it, so you can see what the colour is expected to be doing on the day before you book. Where a trip goes somewhere we do not track, there is no link, rather than a guess.
