Denali National Park and onto Talkeetna
14 de maio de 2023, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C
After enjoying the ATV adventure and the scenery that had to offer we were up early to head into Denali National Park.

Our aim was to visit the Visitors centre, collect my National Park Cancellation Stamp and walk a trail or two before heading back for our transfer to Talkeetna.

It was bright but cold today but a great day for hiking, we ended up walking Horseshoe lake trail to the Beaver Dam. From this trail we walked to the winter visitors centre (now closed), the normal visitors centre (stamp acquired ☑️) and back to the front of the park where we collected the return hotel shuttle. We grabbed a quick bite to eat before our transfer to Talkeetna which was about 3hrs. On arrival we got some rest and completed one of their nature walks bur unfortunately many of the trails at the resort are still closed due to weather.Leia mais

Talkeetna and Train to Anchorage
15 de maio de 2023, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☁️ 8 °C
After our jet boat excursion was cancelled due to Ice on the river we had a slightly more relaxed morning and travelled into Talkeetna where we walked around the town, visited the ranger station and got some lunch (Amazing Pizza). Our transfer from the hotel to Talkeetna was arranged by princess and took about an hour.

Talkeetna is a Gold-Mining town and has maintained much of its traditional ‘Alaska’ feeling. From here we joined our arranged train to Anchorage complete with extra large viewing windows.

The train really was an experience- it took about 3 hrs to get to Anchorage and we saw 5 moose, incredible scenery and our host was fantastic. On arrival in Anchorage we checked into our hotel and got some dinner at 49th State Brewing and enjoyed a walk in the good weather.Leia mais

Last day in Alaska and onto Seattle
16 de maio de 2023, Estados Unidos ⋅ 🌧 9 °C
Our last day in Alaska was unfortunately hampered by weather but we still got out and explored a bit of Anchorage, visited the Alaska Public Lands office for a national park stamp and got some lunch at White Spot Cafe.

Around 13:00 we headed for the airport for our flight to Seattle, we booked a connecting flight here for a brief stop over to see Seattle and then head on to Calgary.

This was one of the prettiest flights we’ve been on with views over the gulf of Alaska and all the mountain regions we’d sailed past.Leia mais

Seattle Downtown
17 de maio de 2023, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
Today we spent the day in Downtown Seattle, we stayed by the airport for ease as we’re only stopping for a day before heading on to Canada.

Whilst in town we got the Monorail, did some shopping and sightseeing, visited the Starbucks Roastery and the Klondike National Park Exhibit (would recommend if you’re in the area). There is quite a lot of construction on the Seattle Sea Front at the moment which made it quite difficult to appreciate the harbour area.Leia mais

Day Trip to Drumheller
19 de maio de 2023, Canadá ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C
From Calgary we took a Day Trip to Drumheller to walk Hoo Doo and Horsethief Canyon Trails alongside experiencing the Royal Tyrell Museum.

This was fantastic with many original fossils and bones used in the exhibits and this is one of the main areas for Palaeontology and excavation with many nearly whole specimens found.Leia mais

Trip to Jasper and Lake Louise
20 de maio de 2023, Canadá ⋅ ☁️ 25 °C
Today we started the Canadian Rockies part of our trip travelling up to Jasper to spend a few days in the area. The weather has been really warm and so on the way we stopped at Lake Louise as it had thawed and we wanted to enjoy with fewer crowds.

Whilst at Lake Louise we walked the Lake Agnes Trail and the Lake Shore trail - it did get much busier throughout the day - and then we joined Icefields Parkway to get to Jasper.

This drives is stunning and we saw three bears on our way.Leia mais

Jasper and Maligne Canyon
21 de maio de 2023, Canadá ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C
Today we enjoyed Jasper National Park and walked the Five Bridge Trail at Maligne Canyon.

The water through the Canyon was amazingly powerful made more so by the recent Snow Melt.

We enjoyed dinner in Jasper and had an evening walk along the Train Tracks watching for wildlife.Leia mais

Trip to Lake Louise
22 de maio de 2023, Canadá ⋅ ☁️ 10 °C
We decided to stay a few nights in the Lake Louise area so today we travelled back down Icefields Parkway with a few stops. The weather was very different (Cold and Hail) from our trip up so it felt like a totally different road and journey.

On our way back down to Lake Louise we stopped a few times including at Peyto Lake and at Columbia Icefields where we followed the trail to the edge of the Athabasca Glacier.

We got into our Hotel at Lake Louise at around 6pm but on a Monday a number of the local restaurants don’t open or close early. All with the exception of Bill Peytos Cafe which had really nice home cooked food and was just down the road from our hotel. This was just what we needed.Leia mais

Day in Golden and Yoho NP
23 de maio de 2023, Canadá ⋅ 🌧 8 °C
From Lake Louise we did a day trip to Golden with some wildlife and walking stops along the way. We managed to see two bears and a Moose today!

These stops included Spiral Tunnel, Yoho National Park, Natural Bridge and Emerald Lake where we spotted a Moose and took a walk around the lake.

When we reached Golden we decided to visit the Golden Skybridge and buy an adventure ticket to do the Zipline, High Ropes, Axe Throwing etc as well as walk across the Skybridges themselves. These were much higher than we were expecting and we got fantastic views across the mountains.

On our way back to Lake Louise we spotted another 🐻.Leia mais
