    Mist Mountain Hot Springs: Nature’s Serene Oasis

    September 4, 2023 /

    As a lover of natural hot springs and hiking, Mist Mountain Hot Springs has been on my bucket list for quite some time. Located in Kananaskis, Alberta, the hike leads you up a trail that provides gorgeous views of the surrounding mountains before arriving at several warm natural hot springs to soak in and enjoy the spectacular views. If you’re not too tired, you can continue up to the peak of Mist Mountain from here, but we only adventured to the hot springs and it was well worth it.  There are affiliate links in this post.

    Porcupine Ridge – A Wonderful Hike in Kananaskis

    July 3, 2023 /

    I always feel like the summer flies by in a blink and I am never able to complete as many hikes or camping trips as I would have liked. This year, Garrett and I made it a priority to go hiking whenever we both have a free day or even a few spare hours in the afternoon. It was a surprise when we both realized that we didn’t have plans on a random Sunday in June and we quickly decided to head out to the mountains. Since we made these hiking plans super last minute (that very morning!) We were looking to do a hike near Calgary. I was also…

    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…

    Northern Lights Edmonton – Viewing the Aurora Borealis

    January 26, 2023 /

    The Northern Lights are magical and those who live in Edmonton, Alberta do not need to travel far outside the city to see them. Canada’s northern latitude and low light pollution make it an ideal place for viewing the legendary aurora borealis. This natural phenomenon is somewhat unpredictable, but there are things you can do to increase your chances of successful aurora viewing. Here’s what you need to know to see and photograph the northern lights in Edmonton. There are affiliate links in this post.

    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.

    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. Located inside the historic Mount Royal Hotel in downtown Banff, the menu was designed to honour the spirit of mountaineers like Bill Peyto and great explorers like Mary Schäffer. The restaurant is scheduled to open on June 14, but Wander Woman Travel Magazine got a sneak preview of the menu so we could write a Brazen Restaurant review early. Overall,…
