Takakkaw Falls (named from a Cree word loosely translated to "it is magnificent") is 991 feet tall and located just outside of Field, British Columbia. A winding road leads away from the main highway, and there are a few places to pull over and get home great photos of the river and Spiral Tunnels … Continue reading Takakkaw Falls
I'm all about appreciating the beauty in your own backyard. I just happen to be lucky enough to call the Rocky Mountains my backyard (at least for a little while longer). Today I'm sharing with you the 5 Most Insta-Worthy Spots in the Rockies! 1. Moraine Lake Is it any wonder that Moraine Lake is … Continue reading 5 Most Insta-Worthy Spots in the Rockies
Horseback riding in the Rockies has been on my bucket list for FOUR years. And I can FINALLY say I've done it. It was worth the wait, the money, and the pain!

And while there isn't amazing vistas or towering mountains or epic waterfalls, there is this incredible piece of history that also … Continue reading Cave and Basin Hot Springs
Can I just say that ghost towns are a lot freakier than I ever thought they would be? We visited the Lower Bankhead Ghost Town in the late afternoon, and I can tell you there is no way I would ever venture out here at night. The Ghost Town is pretty vast, and we just visited … Continue reading Bankhead Ghost Town
The Banff Lake Cruise is on Lake Minnewanka. We lucked out with the weather and it as absolutely beautiful out on the water. I have done this cruise a few times, and the views never get old.
