Lake Louise Style Football
At this point, we had reached the far end of Lake Louise. There was a group of teens playing what looked to be touch football (in the snow), or at least something like that! Because why not? What could

Pedley Pass
Today's hike was the most extreme hike I have ever done! This one really stretched my limits. First of all, me and heights don't get along so well, but our group of four managed to hike to the ridgeline

Bugaboo Falls
Today brought me to a hike in the Columbia valley, and the trailhead was located part way between Radium and Golden, British Columbia. The hike itself was relatively short and easy (which was a bonus).

Nature Walk without Snowshoes
Here we are nearing the far side of Lake Louise; what an incredible hike/nature walk it was. Zero elevation gain/loss made for an easy peezy go of it. I can’t get over how much different this place looks

Jewel of Banff Park
Lake Louise is the jewel of Banff National Park, Alberta you might say. A top must see destination in the Canadian Rockies. Peak season is June through September, but here we are in November and the parking

Lake Louise Freeze
Next stop on our November journey took us to Lake Louise, Banff Park. Situated at a higher elevation than Canmore means cooler temperatures and yes — more snow, lots more! We managed to find a parking

Warm Winter Weather
Aside from the snow on the mountain peaks, you wouldn’t know it was the first month of Winter in the Canadian Rockies (November). It was such a pleasant surprise to be able to walk around in the warmth

Round the Bow
Here I am on the Bridge, smack dab in the middle of the Bow river in a sense. One thing I love about crossing bridges is the unique perspective of the river and surrounding mountains. Here the “Three sisters”
