Roadside Park View
There are many different ways to experience our Canadian Rockies. One way is to find the best hiking trails and get at it. Another way is to grab a canoe or kayak and paddle around one of the glacially

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

Journey Pics
Like I mentioned yesterday, sometimes the journey is greater than the destination (but not always as some have pointed out). On the journey back from Red Rock canyon and Blakiston falls, there were several

Journey > Destination
Sometimes the journey can be greater than the destination. On the way to Red Rock Canyon and Blakiston Falls we had a few decent mountainous landscape views. I had to pull over several times on the side

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?

Red Rock Canyon
On the way back from Blakiston Falls, I stopped by Red Rock Canyon for a look. A very picturesque place featuring that stunning “Red Rock”. One of the major points of interest inside Waterton Lakes park.

Kiteboarding
This was unexpected, just after arriving at Moyie Lake, we walked to the shoreline and witnessed a kite boarder in action. Cool. I was thinking to myself how cool it would be to give it a go sometime.

Back to Moyie
While at Moyie Lake last summer, we went on a short hike which took us to a train track. (I just realized that I forgot to post the rest of my Moyie lake photos, so here is the first of a couple of batches

Black ‘N White Blakiston
Today’s focus is on black and white. Usually I focus more on colour, but I was pleased with how these turned out in black and white. Almost takes you back in time, a time when things were a lot simpler.

Chutes Blakiston
Here are a few extra photos captured during my short hike to Blakiston Falls, or as the French say: “Chutes Blakiston”. Generally the signage inside our national parks have both French and English, except

Blakiston Falls and Creek
The gorgeous creek water makes its way through the canyon and over the falls. Not the highest falls around, but pretty and exquisite in their own way. It was a memorable short hike and a relatively easy

Platform View
Here at Blakiston Falls, there is an upper viewing platform and a lower viewing platform. Pretty cool actually. It allows you to get right up there on the edge for a great view of the canyon. This is one

360° View
One thing I focus on when photographing nature is taking a 360° look/view all around me. These photos you see here were all taken from the same spot more or less. Down below, the Red Rock creek flowing

Easy Peezy Blakiston
Located in the Red Rock canyon, Waterton Lakes park is Blakiston Falls. The hike to get up here was fairly easy with only about 50 metres of elevation gain to deal with — easy peezy. Love these kinds of

Trail to Blakiston
The hike to Blakiston Falls is a short, but sweet one. As you can see by the “thin tall trees”, a forest fire ripped through here in the past. 2017 to be exact. There is still a long way to go until the
