You can expect warm to hot temperatures in the summer months while the winter months bring lots of cold temperatures and windy weather. If you are planning a winter vacation in this area make sure that you pack clothing that will keep you warm because the temperatures can reach as low as eighteen degrees Fahrenheit and sometimes colder. Most tourists venture to Canada for theskiing possibilities throughout the area. You can rent a luxurious log cabin that boasts a wood fireplace. This can be used as your private getaway from the crowds of people and the cold, windy weather.

Waterfall

Grab a seat behind the bench so that you will get a closer look at the players before they hit the ice. Hopefully you will get to see your favorite players in a grappling match on the ice.
