Waterfalls and the forests of the coastal Pacific Northwest. For me, it doesn’t get much better than that.
On a cool autumn morning a common loon swims past me in the Canadian Rockies as it constantly dives in search of a morning meal of smal fish.
Relatively unknown to most tourists, Bugaboos Provincial Park is a hidden gem for outdoor enthusiasts that want to get away from the crowds. Towering granite spires unique to this area attract climbers, while isolated alpine lakes attract only the hardiest of hikers. After driving a long rough dirt road to get into the park, the trees open up and show off the impressive central spire with glacial ice cascading down each side.
