    From Banff to Jasper – A Complete Guide to Canada’s Most Spectacular Drive

    April 17, 2021 /

    The Banff to Jasper drive along the Icefields Parkway (Hwy 93) is one of the most scenic journeys on the planet and is the ultimate Canadian Rockies road trip. You’ll drive past impossibly blue lakes, cascading waterfalls, towering mountain peaks and over a hundred glaciers. There’s a good chance you’ll spot wildlife on the drive from Banff to Jasper or the Jasper to Banff drive- it’s equally good in either direction. There aren’t many places in the world where you can see so much in just 288 kilometres (179 miles). If you rushed it, you could do this drive in three-and-a-half hours, but why would you? There is so much…

    Incredibly Cool Things to do in Medicine Hat

    August 27, 2020 /

    We had three days. Even though that isn’t much time, my husband and I managed to find a ton of fun things to do in Medicine Hat. There are many unique attractions, restaurants, breweries and activities to enjoy in this little oasis on the prairies. Some are popular attractions and others are real hidden gems. With an average of 330 days of sunshine per year, Medicine Hat is purported to be the sunniest city in Canada. Next time, we’re going to stay longer. There are affiliate links in this post.

    Best Zion National Park Hikes

    October 22, 2018 /

    Zion – A Well-Named National Park There are many wonderful Zion National Park hikes, but one of the best views in the park is at the end of the less traveled Canyon Overlook Trail. As I gazed out at the red and white Navajo sandstone cliffs surrounding the main canyon, it wasn’t hard to see why the canyon was so named. Isaac Behunin, the first Mormon pioneer to homestead inside the gorge called it Zion in 1870, a biblical name for a sacred place of refuge. In today’s hectic world, the name seems more appropriate than ever. There are affiliate links in this post. If you make a qualifying purchase…

    Epic Road Trip – Exploring Iceland’s Ring Road

    July 31, 2018 /

    If you want to really explore Iceland, rent a vehicle and plan a road trip along Route 1, affectionately known to locals as the Ring Road. This 1330 km road loops around the entire island passing verdant canyons, massive glaciers, fields of lupines, natural hot springs and so many waterfalls that you eventually quit counting. The Ring Road is the best way to get around the country, but you’ll also want to plan some detours off the main road. There’s much to appreciate in small communities and wilderness areas that lie off the main road. There are affiliate links in this post. If you make a qualifying purchase through one…
