A few years ago, we went up on to the mountain at Jasper, and we could see Mount Robson off in the distance. We were told that you can’t always see it from Jasper, but we have been there twice and have had the privilege of seeing it each time. This time, we were able […]
Maligne Lake is set in a beautiful area. When we walked beside the lake and enjoyed the view , we found out that what we were seeing is only a small part of the lake. You can go on a one-and-a-half hour boat tour to see much more. This would be a lovely trip to take […]
When we went to Jasper, we decided to go to places we hadn’t been before. Our brother-in-law suggested going to Maligne Canyon. Advertised as one of the most spectacular gorges in the Canadian Rockies, its sheer limestone walls plunge to depths of over 50 meters (165 ft.). This was well worth the trip. The views of […]
When we were in western Canada, we were able to go to Vancouver Island and cross to the western coast overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The views were beautiful, especially in Ucluelet. We have been to the Atlantic Ocean, and now to the Pacific. Canada is a large country. When you drive you really get a […]
This past summer, when we took our trip to western Canada, we really enjoyed going through the mountains. They are beautiful. I think we could have spent all of our holiday wandering around there. The following pictures are from our time visiting the area.
The red-tailed hawk is interesting to watch. You often see them sitting on top of telephone poles or soaring high in the sky. We enjoyed watching this one high in the sky.
The hoodoos outside of Drumheller, Alberta are an interesting part of the Badlands. Hoodoos are scattered throughout the Drumheller valley. We were able to visit the official protected Hoodoos site, which is now designated as a Provincial Historic Resource. At this site, you are able to walk around the hoodoos without getting too close and causing damage […]
At one time, elk (wapiti) were found across North America, but now are mostly found in western North America. By the late 1800’s they were no longer in Ontario. However, in recent years, there have been shipments of elk from Elk Island National Park, Alberta, to areas in Ontario. The Bancroft North Hastings area received […]
We had the opportunity to visit the BC Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre in Kamloops, B.C. in our travels last month. Their focus is on rehabilitating animals that are brought in to the centre – orphans and injured animals. They have some animals that have not been able to be rehabilitated and are there permanently. We found […]
We took a camping trip from Ontario through to Vancouver Island this fall. Over the next few weeks, I will be posting some of the pictures from this trip. Canada is a beautiful country, and driving across it gives you the opportunity to see God’s handiwork up close and personal. As we came home, the […]
