I know these pictures look like the Windows desktop stock photos but I had to put them in anyway. I was driving south of Calgary, towards Priddis, and was met by this sight. There were vehicles lined up on the side of the road…
I took these pics while hiking on another cool and misty day. I had gone out west of Calgary near a little village called Waiparous. Even just taking a drive out there, you are guaranteed to see wildlife. I did see some on…
Kananaskis country is one of the lesser traveled gems of the Alberta Rockies. Locals know this area well but it’s off the radar for most tourists who selectively go to such highly worthwhile (but much busier) locations like…

One of my favorite wildflowers is Fireweed. A fairly common plant in northern regions, it’s generally found in open meadows. Fireweed is especially prevalent in areas that were just burned out (hence it’s name) or that were recently…
One of the most scenic hikes in the Canadian Rockies, and also one of my favorites, is in a high subalpine meadow in Banff National Park. The season for hiking here is limited to only a few months because of the high altitude.
