A couple more photos from our Mother’s Day hiking camera roll. Sometimes the trail can be blocked with obstacles, kinda like life. Obstacles are there to overcome! Completing hikes is like completing goals

Here we are on the “Mother’s day” hiking trail, a relatively short and sweet easy hike. Typically when on the trail I’ll come across sometime that is “Eye Catching”. For example in the first photo I

It’s Friday, September 18th and we are just four days away from the official start of Fall! Summer is pretty much wrapped and in the bag now. Arguably, Fall is my favourite season of the bunch. The leaves

We didn’t actually go for a hike on Mother’s Day, however the hike itself is called Mother’s Day trail. The reason for the name is for the plethora of wildflowers to been seen in May and early June. We

As we walk through the forest, here in Cranbrook, British Columbia, careful not to step on one of these giant fallen acorns! As cool as they may be, you don’t want to twist your ankle. Anyways, it is only

Let’s take a walk through the Community Forest, here in Cranbrook, British Columbia (or should I say a “Meander” through the forest). What a great thing to have, a nice forest with winding trails on the

This will be my final post on the incredible Lake Louise, one of Canada’s most famous lakes and ski resorts. Winter, Summer, Spring or Fall, this is a place that never disappoints. Just behind the Fairmont

Looking out at Lake Louise it was still in an unfrozen state, but just to our right side was a completely frozen waterfall! How does that happen you might ask? Well I’m no scientist, but obviously a larger

A few more clicks from our trip out to Lake Louise, Alberta last year. Off in the distance you can see the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise. Zoom in even closer and ski runs are visible as well. Banff National

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

Today's hike took me to Lake O'Hara. This is considered the "Jewel" of Yoho National Park, British Columbia. For this hiking experience, you need to take a shuttle to the lake (or hike up 11

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

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).

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

Walking along the Lake Louise shoreline was so worth it! The beauty of the turquoise water, mixed with a snowy mountainous backdrop was simply breathtaking! This was not my first trip to Lake Louise, nor

After arriving at the one and only Lake Louise, Banff National Park, we made our way to the lake’s edge and decided to walk the perimetre trail to the far end of the lake. The massive mountain across the

It’s Friday September 4th — wow we are already in September! By this time, hopefully you have had a chance to do some travelling this Summer or maybe you had a “staycation”? School is back for those of

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

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

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
