After reaching your hiking destination, its time to take a load off, relax, rehydrate, and enjoy the scenery. We’ve made it, and the reward is what you see. Perfect. Can you feel the sun on your face?!

The hike started with some easy elevation gain, typical for most any hike. Followed by elevation loss, which is not as typical, but not rare either. The loss was about half the gain, give or take. As I

The path to Crandell Lake involved first some elevation gain, approximately 125 metres or so, followed by elevation loss of about half that as you approach the lake. Not typical really. Most hikes generally

It’s Friday, April 24th and another weekend is upon us. What do you typically do on a Friday or Saturday night? Go out for dinner or out for drinks, or perhaps a quiet evening at home with family. Maybe

Well the hike to Crandell Lake started off with a little bit of excitement you might say. So I’m hiking solo and all of a sudden a family of big horned sheep are approaching, and they don’t seem like they

After a very scenic and beautiful drive up to the trailhead, I exited the vehicle to enjoy the panoramic views in front of me! Like I’ve said before, half the fun is in the journey itself. As you can see,

Day two in Waterton Lakes Park, and the plan is to do another hike! Surprising eh? lol. The destination is Crandell Lake, but first we must drive to the trailhead. A spectacular drive with tons of scenery

The landscape around Pincher Creek, Alberta, is littered with these wind turbines. Apparently this area is considered the wind capital of Canada, so naturally corporations take advantage of this “windy

Everytime I drive by hay bales, it is always such a beautiful thing to see, so magical even! The rolling hills as a backdrop is just a bonus added touch. I discovered these around Pincher Creek, located

Located just outside of Waterton Lakes Park is this tiny lake called Beauvais. I guess I sort of “found” this lake as I was driving around the area, checking out the lay of the land. Perfect opportunity

It’s another Random Friday, mid April, and we are nearly 1/3 into 2026 already. Time does fly doesn’t it?! So what have you been up to lately? Anything exciting? We did get a little snow over the last

If you have been following my blog for any length of time, you would know that I publish both black & white and colour versions of each photo. Today I was liking the black and white ones slightly more

In order to get to your hiking destination, it usually requires mountain road driving. Now this is usually not your typical highway driving experience. First of all you have winding roads mixed with hilly

A couple more captures from my short, very short hike on the Bellevue Prairie trail. The majority of the views were right at or near the trailhead. The further along the trail I went, the less interesting

I decided to check out this nearly zero elevation gain trail called the “Bellevue Prairie trail”. Aside from some decent mountain footage to the left of the trail, the rest of the trail looked boring and

On the way back from Blakiston Falls, Red Rock canyon, I was able to squeeze in one more hike, or so I thought. I had been eyeing this 7 kilometre prairie trail hike for over a year or so, ever since our

You know those trees that grow at an angle, affected by the constant flow of wind? I’m sure you have seen them. There is a name for them: Flag trees or Banner trees. I learned something new today by doing

Another week gone by, another Random Friday is here. Tell me what you have been up to this past week? Any Big plans for the weekend or just taking it easy? Myself, will be enjoying some of the warmer Canadian

In a continuation of the last few posts, a few more Roadside snaps to show you. I am amazed at the amount of photo ops available simply from the roadside! Incredible, I love this place! If you ever find

This is more or less a continuation of yesterday’s post, where I pulled over by the roadside a couple of times on the return journey from Blakiston falls and Red Rock canyon. A photographers dream with
