We discovered a “new” spot to hike last year, and it is called Napika. Nestled in the mountains east of Kootenay park is this lovely place. The best part of the entire hike was the remoteness of the

Here we are on top of the world; better known as Sunshine meadows, Banff Park. A tremendous adventure it was, hiking at this relatively high elevation. Accessible via a series of gondola and chair lifts.

This is the biggest, and best lake out here at Sunshine Meadows, Banff Park. Although Banff Park is primarily located inside Alberta, technically this lake is outside the park, and inside British Columbia,

It’s Friday August 1st, which means Summer is half gone, at least for those who live in a region with four seasons, like myself, and many of you. The weather has been warm lately and plans are coming together

Three of my favourite things are: Trails, Lakes and Mountains. Nature’s gems you might say. Not only do I enjoy walking the trails, paddling on the lakes and climbing the mountains, but also documenting

One of the Sunshine Lakes up top here is named Grizzly lake, probably because of the bear activity known to exist in the area. A pretty little lake with some nice scenery around it to gaze at. The trail

Have you ever been to Heaven? Me neither, but hiking up here, on top of the world at Sunshine meadows, is kinda like that. Or the next best thing anyways. I guess I am biased, as I just love our Canadian

There are three amazing little lakes out here at Sunshine Meadows, Banff Park: Rock Isle, Grizzly and Larix Lake. Every time we come out here, we do a loop hike around all the lakes. Kinda like hitting

Here in Banff National Park, Alberta, we have some of the best manicured trails in Canada. I suppose it is kind of an expectation, while inside a park you have payed to enter. It does make such a difference

A few pictures here of one of my favourite places to hike; that would be Sunshine Meadows. Lately we have come here just about every Summer. The fun starts from the bottom, where we jump in a gondola and

It’s Friday, July 25th, and we are approaching the end of the month. By this time, you should be enjoying your Summer to it’s fullest, hopefully. I know I am. We recently got back from an awesome trip

We may be living in an upside down world, but nature’s version is spectacular! Wouldn’t you say? I was able to get these photos at Cobb Lake, located close to Olive lake; which was highlighted in the last

Just a few more shots of Olive lake, before we move on to another location. Could you imagine a bit of fishing or perhaps floating a canoe or kayak around here?! Oh yeah, that would be amazing right. So

For such a small little lake, I did take a lot of photos. The lighting was exceptional for showcasing the extreme beauty of this lake. Wow, I felt so lucky being here at just the right time of day. This

Just a hop, skip and jump away from the town of Radium is little Olive lake. Accessible from the highway, it is an easy stop for a few quick pics and some quiet time to enjoy the emerald green colour of

Ok, let’s take a walk back to Kootenay National Park. We took a trip out here last Fall and had a blast. The weather was very cooperative as well — which was super. The day started with a quick hike near

Here we are on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. Got a couple of quick pics from both East coast and West coast. One of the best vacations / adventures in recent memory. Mostly we did touristy things

It’s Friday July 18th, and it feels like Summer is half over already. Could it be? How has your Summer been going so far, have you been able to do some exciting activities or travel anywhere special? Myself,

So I spotted one of them little turtles chillin on top of this log. Crept up, ever so quietly, and — it slipped into the water. So disappointing, can’t win em all right? I did manage to get quite a few

This was one of the clearest lakes that we ever encountered. The reflections off the water were mirror perfect. Such a beautiful serene scene, straight out of national geographic. Some would call it nature
