Winter fun at Sun Peaks Resort, British Columbia Given that it’s practically summer over here in the Pacific Northwest, it feels a little strange to be posting a photo essay from our winter trip to Sun Peaks Resort.

Dog sledding at Sun Peaks Resort in British Columbia

Learning to ski at Sun Peaks Resort in British Columbia
Learning to ski at Sun Peaks Resort A few weeks ago, we returned to one of our favourite alpine villages in Canada – Sun Peaks Resort.

British Columbia continues to impress! An oceanfront cabin retreat at Porteau Cove
Porteau Cove Provincial Park, British Columbia Earlier this summer, while driving the Sea-to-Sky Highway to Garibaldi Provincial Park for a day hike, I decided to pull the car over at the Porteau Cove exit. My hiking companions sent a text saying they were running late and just about to leave downtown Vancouver, which meant they were about 45 minutes behind me. Rather […]
If there’s one place you should visit in New Brunswick, this is it!
Hopewell Rocks and the Bay of Fundy If you find yourself traveling to New Brunswick there’s one place you MUST visit – the Hopewell Rocks and the Bay of Fundy. The reason you want to visit the Hopewell Rocks is to witness the world’s highest tides and walk on the exposed ocean floor at low tide. Every day, twice […]
