Tucked away a half hour drive inland on the Oregon coast, this little creek boasts eleven waterfalls in a short two-mile trail as it cascades through a lush moss covered temperate rainforest. I have had the opportunity to hike the trail twice now with my daughter. Without a doubt this has become my favourite place in the world. There is so much exceptional scenery packed into a condensed space, its beauty is unrivaled by comparison to anywhere I have ever been in my life.
Along the Southern reaches of Alberta, the rolling green grasslands clash with Rockies creating a stark contrast between the landscapes. I’ve always admired the beauty of this region. One of the things that stand out to me the most is the vibrant greens during the spring season that only last a short while. It is something I just can’t get enough of and draws me back year after year.
With the glow of the morning sun cresting over the horizon, a soft warm light is cast over the frosty winter prairies. Perched on a fencepost, a male snowy owl scans the surrounding fields for its next meal.
