Trailhead ~ Crandell Lake
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,

En Route
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

Wind Turbines
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

Rolling Hills
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

Beauvais Lake
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

One and Done
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

Bellevue Abort
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

Bellevue Prairie Trail
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

Flag Trees
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

Highway side Photography
I love hiking just like the next person, but you are missing out if you don’t stop every once in awhile on the journey to or from your destination, and explore your surroundings. This is especially true

Random Good Friday
It is Good Friday, why do they call it good? Well a better way of saying it is “Holy” Friday. A day commemorating the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. What have you been up to this week, anything special?
