Kinsol Trestle on Vancouver Island

Completed in 1920, the Kinsol Trestle is a former railway bridge on Vancouver Island that was restored and converted for use by pedestrians and cyclists in 2011. The bridge spans the Koksilah River and forms part of the Trans Canada Trail network. As one of the largest wooden trestle bridges in the world, crossing the Kinsol Trestle is a memorable experience, heightened by the incredible views of the surrounding Cowichan Valley.

Ellis Island Museum in New York & New Jersey

Located in New York Harbor, Ellis Island was once the busiest immigration and processing station in the United States of America. Within view of the Statue of Liberty, from 1892 to 1954 more than 12 million immigrants were processed at Ellis Island as they arrived at the Port of New York and New Jersey. It's believed as many as 2/5 of the American population may be descended from the immigrants that passed through Ellis Island.
