    10 of the All Time Best Hikes in Kananaskis Country

    May 30, 2023 /

    Kananaskis has some of the most beautiful hiking trails in all of the Canadian Rockies and oftentimes it has fewer crowds than many of the hiking trails near Banff or Canmore. Being born and raised in Alberta and living only an hour away from Kananaskis has allowed me to explore the area extensively. I’ve compiled a list of ten of my all-time favourite hikes that you’ve got to add to your hiking list for this summer. The hikes range from beginner to advanced so there is something for everyone. Read on to discover some of the very best hikes in Kananaskis. There are affiliate links in this post. If you…

    Alberta Open Farm Days – Taste of the Heartland in Stettler

    May 11, 2023 /

    Alberta Open Farms Days is an annual event that lets you see where your food comes from and meet the people who produce it. In Stettler, the event is called Taste of the Heartland, an appropriate name since it literally is a chance to taste the food produced in Alberta’s heartland, one of the most productive agricultural regions in the province. The day starts with fascinating educational tours of local farms where you can meet agricultural producers, ask questions and see their farms up close. It’s a chance to learn what it takes to produce the food we eat and what farmers are doing to ensure long-term sustainability, productivity and…

    A Week in Bermuda Itinerary: The Island’s Must-See Spots

    April 5, 2023 /

    I didn’t know much about Bermuda before I spent a week there with my mother. I had seen pictures of the island’s gorgeous pink sand beaches on social media. I had also heard about the old legend of the Bermuda Triangle, a mysterious area where ships and airplanes went missing. Fortunately, one of those things turned out to be true and the other did not. During our visit, we planned a Bermuda itinerary that took us to some of the most beautiful beaches I had ever seen. We also planned flights to and from Bermuda that not only landed safely – they were on time. Our trip was full of…

    Gear Review – VSSL First Aid Kit -Great for Backpacking and Outdoor Adventures

    February 2, 2023 /

    There was a day not long ago when my wife wished she had carried the VSSL First Aid Kit. It was a beautiful day in Waterton Lakes National Park when Debbie and her brother enjoyed a leisurely cycling excursion on Red Rock Canyon Parkway. Cycling the 9 km (5.5 mi) road is always an adventure, but on this particular day it ended up being more of an adventure than they imagined. As they arrived at the parking lot near Red Rock Canyon, they discovered an injured cyclist. The person had lost control of their rented e-bike. They had a deep gash in their leg and needed help. Fortunately, my wife…

    Myra Canyon Trail – An Amazing Adventure

    September 27, 2022 /

    The Myra Canyon Trail is one of the most stunningly beautiful half-day cycling or hiking excursions in Canada. As I cycled across the first wooden trestle bridge, I gazed out at the canyon and I was blown away. It was one of the most amazing views I have ever seen on two wheels. This scenic section of the historic Kettle Valley Railway (KVR) Trail runs through a dramatic canyon and it takes cyclists and hikers through two tunnels and across 18 trestle bridges. This former rail line was built through the canyon between 1912 and 1914 and was used as an active railway line for many years. When it was…

    Terra Restaurant Review Jasper- A Culinary Experience Inspired by the Earth

    July 19, 2022 /

    Jasper’s newest restaurant, Terra, is a unique eatery that gives guests a literal “taste” of Jasper. Located inside The Crimson Hotel, Terra boasts dishes made using local ingredients that bring the heart of Jasper into each and every item on the menu. In Latin, Terra means Earth, which is the exact vibe that the menu gives guests through its various takes on cuisine that often utilizes unexpected but delicious ingredients found within Jasper. Terra opened on June 10th, 2022, and Wander Woman Travel Magazine attended a media preview event where we got to sample the menu and learn about the conception of Terra Restaurant in Jasper.
