By Kaitlyn Forde After living in the Canadian Rockies for more than two years, indulging in tourist attractions has lost its lustre. I did as much as I could during my first summer in the mountains: I canoed along the Bow River, went sightseeing in Jasper, checked out the dinosaurs in Drumheller, and made a […]
By Keili Bartlett On my first trip to Kicking Horse Mountain Resort, my heart was set on summiting Kicking Horse Mountain, from which you can see five national and provincial parks (Banff, Yoho, Kootenay, Bugaboo and Glacier). But to get there, the Terminator Peak scramble must be conquered. It’s rated as an easy 30-minute scramble, but for […]
BY Keili Bartlett Whether you’re in Revelstoke for a long time or a weekend getaway like I was, you’ll want the low down on where to eat the best food. Quick meals on ski hills often leave your stomach (and wallet) empty, so my friend Katie and I checked out local favourites in town. Recommendations from motel […]
By Keili Bartlett The weather was so clear that the cold air shimmered in the sunlight. Tree branches were weighed down with snow. I couldn’t remember a time I’d been so deep in the woods during winter, and without our guide Léa, I would not have been able to follow the trail. The only sign of civilization were the footprints […]
BY Keili Bartlett After spending the weekend off-grid in a ghost town, my friends and I were driving back to Banff. We’d spent a big chunk of our two-day trip to Retallack and back on the road, so a good stretch was well overdue by the time we reached the Whiteswan Forest Service Road. After 17.5 […]
BY Keili Bartlett I’m the kind of person who wakes up to an alarm on their phone and checks the weather, Facebook and Instagram before I even get out of bed, only to go to work and sit at a desk for most of the day. So when two of my friends said they wanted […]
Winter in Revelstoke Mountain Resort feels something like this: skis balanced on the cusp of a slope, steep drop at your feet, and then, the feeling of elation as you free fall into your ride. It’s fast, thrilling and sure to get the adrenaline pumping. Well now you can get the same buzz in summer. […]
By Naomi Witherick Lounging by the lake, swimming in the shallows and relaxing in the hot springs. Invermere is definitely a place to get away from it all. But now you can get a little further. Think secluded accommodation on the outskirts of town with a private patio, mountain views and total peace and quiet. […]
When I visited Golden, BC this spring I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. The mountain town is just an hour and a half drive from my home in Canmore, but I’d only ever been once before. My memory of Golden was fond, though. I’d visited a few years ago in May after spending the morning […]
By Afton Aikens Golden is known for outdoor adventure—world class skiing and lift-assisted mountain biking at Kicking Horse Mountain Resort, adrenaline-charged snowmobiling in the Purcell Mountains, rafting big rapids on the Kicking Horse River and loads more. After an active day in the mountains when you’re as hungry as a grizzly bear that just awoke […]
