Larch Valley is an amazing location in the Canadian Rockies. Starting from the trailhead at Moraine Lake it doesn’t take long to wind your way up through the pines on a solid trail into an alpine world of Larch meadows. Today I was hoping that the Larches would be in their golden fall colours but I’d…
Marble Canyon is a fantastic place. It’s a very accessible slot-canyon with an easy paved path right off Highway 93 South. The path starts out at the river level and before long you’re climbing up and up while the canyon and river drops beneath you. The rocks there have a great rusty-red colour and lend…
I went for a walk around Nosehill park tonight, it’s a fantastic urban park here in Calgary with many great trails. We even ran into some wildlife.

I went for a hike today up to Buller Pass an it was a great day for wildlife. There was a black bear with two cubs, and a beautiful wolf on the trail.
