There’s really nothing better for those who love to explore than to find hidden gems while on their respective journeys – and that’s why an excursion during the fall season to Brandon should be at or near the top of anyone’s list of places to visit.

Fuel your body with a fantastic breakfast

Brandon has several great breakfast places – and I’ve made sure to point out a few in other itineraries – but for this one, I’ll make mention of Blue Hills Bakery & Deli. You won’t be disappointed.

Experience one of the loop trails at the Hills

Kickstart your adventurous side at the Brandon Hills. This writer has been to this awesome greenspace so many times, he’s lost count and while he’s there, he usually stumbles upon something he didn’t notice before – whether it’s little bridges across small ponds or scenic viewpoints that forces you to stop and really enjoy what this beautiful area of nature has to offer.

Time to be a locavore

All that exploring has made you hungry for lunch of course – so it’s time to head to The Dock.

Time to ‘locavore’ it up.

Umm… what? Well… the ‘locavore’ bit is a rather neat marketing tool that really illustrates what The Dock is all about. A ‘locavore’ by definition is someone who eats food grown locally whenever possible and at The Dock on Princess, they strive to live by this motto. Yeah, it’s neat, local and most importantly, the place has really good food.

More exploration at the Riverbank

OK – bear with me here because the clichés are going to fly but the ‘something for everyone’ applies here. You can enjoy a nice peaceful walk along the Riverbank’s expansive trail system – all the while experiencing several outdoor art installations; you can also enjoy what the Discovery Centre has to offer! Cue another cliché: It’s really a great spot to come at any time of the year!

OK – I’ll stop.
