Before going to Lake Louise, we decided to make a trip to Moraine Lake since it was so close. The colour of the lake is an amazing blue-green colour. I was amazed at how many people were there. We were told to make sure we got there before 10:00 in the morning so that we […]
Some views from our trip into the Rocky Mountains.
When you climb the Grassi Lakes Trail, you get a great view of Canmore, Alberta and the mountains. It’s an interesting climb and well worth the effort. I didn’t find it the easiest climb, but I was glad I did it. There is an easier trail you can go on, but the views on the […]
My daughter and I visited Canmore recently. One of the walks we went on was called Policeman’s Creek Boardwalk. This was an enjoyable walk and a good introduction to the mountains and Canmore. Beautiful views. This is definitely an area that shows the beauty of God’s creation.
The waves on Georgian Bay were still quite high when we arrived at Craigleith Provincial Park a few weeks ago. They had had a storm the night before. It takes a long time for the water to settle after having a storm. The water was high, surrounding the the picnic tables along the shore. The […]
I love the way our lake always looks different. The lighting and the clouds make such a difference and can change quickly throughout the day or evening. The following pictures were taken in the evenings this summer. Some of them were taken with my cell phone, but all were taken of the west end of […]
We visited Lake Louise several years ago (2003), but didn’t have much time to walk around the lake. We had accidentally locked our keys in our van and had to wait for CAA to help us. This made our time there very short, so I was hoping to have more time last year (2014) when […]
Maligne Lake is set in a beautiful area. When we walked beside the lake and enjoyed the view , we found out that what we were seeing is only a small part of the lake. You can go on a one-and-a-half hour boat tour to see much more. This would be a lovely trip to take […]
This spring we had the opportunity to camp in Bon Echo Provincial Park, where they have some high cliffs, and you can see some petroglyphs from years ago. We actually didn’t see very many of the petroglyphs, but we enjoyed seeing the cliffs and getting up close to them. It’s a beautiful park to visit. […]
At this time of year, we get to enjoy fog on the lake in the mornings. It provides some interesting scenery, and everything seems so much quieter around the lake. Even the duck is usually quiet at this time … until it notices us, and decides it would like some food. Then it squawks for […]
