    Brazen Restaurant Banff – Review of a New Restaurant That Pays Bold Tribute to Mavericks

    June 14, 2022 /

    Brazen restaurant Banff is the town’s newest restaurant. By definition, the word “brazen” means “bold without shame,” and that says it all. Brazen restaurant pays tribute to the mavericks who helped to build the town of Banff. It does this with a menu that has bold style and big taste.

    Why You Should Visit Baker Creek Mountain Resort This Winter

    January 21, 2022 /

    Outside our cozy cabin at Baker Creek Mountain Resort, the snow-covered forest was dark and still. Inside, my husband and I were curled up on a sofa in front of a wood stove sipping hot chocolate and watching the embers as they burned and crackled. A cozy cabin in the mountains is a wonderful place to be on a cold winter night and it’s far more romantic and private than a typical hotel accommodation.

We discovered that winter is a magical time to be at Baker Creek Mountain Resort and the Lake Louise area…

    Canmore Cave Tours and a Claustrophobic Caver

    October 25, 2019 /

    Everyone has fears and phobias – even if they don’t like to admit it. Claustrophobia, the fear of being in small spaces, is one of mine. I know it’s irrational, but when I find myself stuck in a small space my heart starts to pound and I want to get out as quickly as possible. Sometimes I panic, like the time I got stuck in the ladies bathroom at a Subway restaurant when the doorknob broke.
