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

Mother’s Day Hike
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

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

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 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
