10.14.19 : Taking a break from our regularly scheduled summer recap for a view from today’s hike. Old Rag Mountain in Shenandoah NP. #shenandoahnationalpark #shenandoah #oldragmountain #oldragsummit #blueridgemountains #rocky #virginia #shenandoahhiking07.31.19 : Looking south from the summit of the Sulphur Skyline Trail in Jasper National Park. Besides the 360 degree Mountain View, the best thing about this hike is the Miette Hot Springs pool waiting at the trailhead. #jaspernationalpark #canadianrockies #miettehotsprings #sulphurskyline #sulphurskylinetrail #fiddleriver07.31.19 : A definite summer trip highlight was mama bear and her three cubs’ morning visit to Pocahontas campground in Jasper. (It’s a zoom lens, don’t worry.) #bears #mamabear #bearcubs #jaspernationalpark #pocahontascampground #camping #wildlife #wildlifesighting #canadianrockies #holyshit07.30.19 : Farther north along the Icefields Parkway we stopped to view both Sunwapta (pic1) and Athabasca (pic2) Falls on the Athabasca River. #jaspernationalpark #sunwaptafalls #athabascafalls #athabascariver #canadianrockies #icefieldsparkway #waterfalls07.30.19 : Took a cold and rainy 3 hour walking tour on the Athabasca Glacier in Jasper National Park. icewalks.com #athabascaglacier #athabascaglaciericewalk #icefieldsparkway #jaspernationalpark #glacier #glacierwalk #crampons07.29.19 : Lake Louise had the most insane water reflection I’ve ever seen. We then did a 12 mile hike to Lake Agnes, The Big Beehive (2nd pic), and the Plain of Six Glaciers (3rd pic). #lakelouise #banff #banffnationalpark #banffhiking #bigbeehive #plainofsixglaciers #victoriaglacier #reflection07.28.19 : Just watching some canoes drift by on totally normal-colored water. Nothing to see here... #emeraldlake #yohonationalpark #yoho #canadianrockies #greenwater #redcanoe #reflection #beautifulbritishcolumbia07.28.19 : We booked a ranger-guided hike up the “steepest hiking trail in the Canadian Rockies” to see the Burgess Shale fossils on Mt. Stephen. Totally worth it, trilobites everywhere! #yohonationalpark #burgessfossils #burgessshale #trilobite #stonebugs #mtstephen #fossils #parkscanada07.27.19 : The key to getting a little solitude at Moraine Lake is to arrive after 9:00pm. Just for fun I also recommend wearing an item of clothing that matches the water. #morainelake #banff #banffnationalpark #bluewater #valleyoftenpeaks #chicagohat #transittees #canadianrockies #travelalberta #tripodseverywhere-
