Summer’s almost over—but there’s still time to make it count. If you’re into speed, adrenaline, or getting a little muddy, these five late-summer adventure ideas are worth adding to your bucket list. And with the right set of tires, nothing’s out of reach.
1. Hit the Trails in Muskoka or the Laurentians
These regions offer some of the best off-road terrain in Ontario and Quebec.
- Look for unmaintained roads, ATV trails, and rocky routes.
- You’ll need dependable all-terrain tires like the Blackhawk Ridgecrawler R/T
- Don’t forget to deflate a bit if you’re heading into deep gravel or dirt.
2. Go Whitewater Rafting in BC or Quebec
The Ottawa River and Kicking Horse River are popular for a reason—fast, cold, and full of adrenaline.
- Book a guided trip with transportation included or drive in with your gear.
- Road conditions can change fast near river sites—grippy tires help.
3. Try Ziplining in Whistler or Mont-Tremblant
If heights don’t scare you, ziplines in these mountain towns are an easy way to feel a rush.
- Ideal for weekend road trips from Vancouver or Montreal.
- You’ll want tires that can handle winding mountain highways and sudden summer storms.
4. Explore Alberta’s Backcountry
Get out of the cities and into wild terrain—Ghost Public Land Use Zone and Waiparous are great for off-roading or overlanding.
- These areas are remote and rugged. Cell service may be spotty.
- Tires need strong sidewalls and solid tread—Blackhawk Ridgecrawler A/T has both.
5. Book a Skydiving Jump in Southern Ontario
Try Grand Bend, Gananoque, or the GTA for beginner-friendly tandem jumps.
- It’s a quick day trip from most urban centres.
- Before you hit the highway, check tire pressure and tread—especially if it’s been a while.
Get the Most Out of Summer—with the Right Tires
Blackhawk tires are made for drivers who do more than just commute. Whether it’s backroads, highways, or rough terrain, they deliver control, traction, and confidence—at a price that makes sense.
