• Glacier Grand Finale

    The Prince of Wales Hotel was the perfect ending to a perfect road trip with a great vantage point for panoramic views, and lots of history.

  • Best of Vancouver and Bridge

    Today we glimpsed Stanley Park, had a fabulous afternoon on Granville Island, and explored the rain forest at Capilano Suspension Bridge Park.

  • A Terrific Day in Victoria, BC

    We officially begin the cruise portion of our trip on Vancouver Island with an all-day excursion to Victoria and Butchart Gardens.

  • Two Nights in Whistler

    Our stay in Whistler was a short one, but we strolled, nibbled, and sipped our way around a loop which started right outside our hotel.

  • Back Down the Parkway

    We love thundering waterfalls, and today's itinerary put the finishing touches on the Icefields Parkway, offering some of the best yet!

  • Maligne Canyon to Spirit Island

    We love traveling off-season to avoid the throngs of people, but booking excursions in Jasper NP can be problematic with such a short season.

  • A Sweet Route on Moving Day

    Our move from Canmore to Jasper along the Icefields Parkway was a pretty sweet route. As moving days go, this was definitely one of our best!

  • Lake Minnewanka Scenic Drive

    Along the Minnewanka Scenic Drive, wildlife sightings ramped up, we enjoyed a boat cruise, and Jim stepped out of his comfort zone for a bit.

  • Rain, Rain, Go Away

    Our stay in Canmore continues in soggy conditions, but a drive along the parkway from Banff to Lake Louise made for an extraordinary day!

  • Oh, What a Day! (cont’d)

    This post picks up where the last one left off – with the second half of a loop to see some sites in Kootenay and Yoho National Parks in BC.

  • Exploring God’s Country

    We've been looking forward to visiting the Canadian Rockies for years, so I don't think we'll be getting much relaxation on this "vacation".
