"Hiking In The Trees"
(Grey County, Ontario)
Autumn color abounds as we take you on a vacation you will never forget. We take a hike across treetops in an old growth forest and then end with a zip line down 300 feet from the top of the Niagara Escarpment. Along the way we will stop at the oldest brewery in Ontario.
Save Public Media
Take a stand for the local stations and programs you love
Public media is facing multiple serious threats. The Administration has proposed eliminating federal funding in its annual budget request, issued an Executive Order to block support for PBS and NPR, cancelled grants that support the creation of children's educational programming, and plans to claw back funding approved by Congress.
Great Getaways is a television travel series that spotlights active getaway adventures across the Midwest and Canada with an emphasis on the outdoors. Host Tom O'Boyle travels to a variety of destinations and talks to the locals about vacation and recreation opportunities. Join us as we continue to discover more Great Getaways.
2023 was Great Getaways' 20th year on PBS and along with new shows we brought our viewers an occasional look back at those 20 years of fun. We get mail all the time from folks saying we have been watching you since the beginning and still enjoy every show. We are looking forward to more adventures and more Great Getaways!
