Winterstruck in Jasper, Alberta A couple weeks ago we shared our experience attending the Jasper in January winter festival. One of the highlights from our trip to the Canadian Rockies was spending the day at Winterstruck (read about our experience here). While there, we did our best to capture some video footage – not an easy task […]
Winter in Banff: Our best anniversary to date
Winter trip to Banff National Park Something very big happened last week. Huge, in fact. Something that hasn’t happened in years. Finally, 15 months after Baby Connor was born, we went on a trip without our boys. Now, don’t get me wrong – we love traveling with our boys – but let’s be honest, we also love traveling […]
Looking Back – 30 photos that tell our 2014 Story
Looking back – 30 photos that tell our 2014 story I love this time of year. The end of one year, the start of another. There’s something very cleansing and exciting about the calendar switching over to 01/01. While it may be cliche or unoriginal to publish yet another “year in review” post, I love the […]
Traveling back in time at Calgary’s Heritage Park

These famous glacial fed lakes seem to draw most of the attention, and for good reason, but there’s another beautiful Rocky Mountain lake that caught our attention – Bow […]
That time I explored Jasper National Park on a motorcycle
Exploring Jasper National Park by motorcycle Let me start by saying that I’m terrified of motorcycles. When I’m driving on the highway and a motorcycle rides next to me, I can’t help but think that person must be crazy to be riding so fast with virtually nothing protecting them. Okay, I’ll also admit that I’ve […]
Glacier Walking in the Canadian Rockies
Athabasca Glacier, Canadian Rockies, Alberta Walking on an alpine glacier is a once-in-a-lifetime adventure that many feel is unattainable, an experience reserved for the ultra-fit or wealthy. While that may be true for most glaciers in the Canadian Rockies, the good news is that the Columbia Icefield Glacier Adventure makes it possible for anyone to […]
When in the Canadian Rockies, you MUST visit THIS place
Maligne Lake in Jasper National Park, Alberta The Canadian Rockies are big. REALLY big. This spectacular mountain range stretches up and down Western Canada for hundreds of kilometers, splitting the border that divides Alberta and British Columbia. Because of this, there are literally hundreds (if not thousands) of beautiful lakes and mountain-scapes that will make […]
