I recently moved to Philadelphia (from Texas), and am looking to travel along the East Coast, into Canada. I have never been to Canada, and want to explore as much as possible, while my company has me here.

I'm looking to spend a weekend visiting Eastern Canada [Friday, Saturday, Sunday]. Ideally, I would like to spend my time in the mountains or along the shore, but wouldn't be opposed to spending time in Montreal, Quebec, Halifax, etc..

What would be a good weekend travel option, coming from Philadelphia? I would most likely rent a car and drive up, unless I can find a cheap flight.

Thank you,
