    Driving Day

    October 15, 2021 in Canada ⋅ ⛅ 8 °C

    Left at 7am to start the drive. We started our drive stopped at a train as soon as we left the alley, and hoped it wasn't a sign of the drove to come. But, with only a couple stops we made it to Golden in great time, but it was still over 11 hours of driving (not recommended).
    The Air BnB is very nice and cozy with a nice view of the mountains ⛰    Read more

    Golden Hike

    October 16, 2021 in Canada ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C

    Today we toured around the town a bit and went out for lunch at a delicious restaurant called The Turning Point (no photos), one of the locals said it's the best restaurant in town.

    Next we found a hike near Golden called the Thomspen Falls Hike, it was longer and harder then expected so we didn't make it all the way to the falls. It was still very beautiful hiking along the river, forgot how clear glacier water is!

    Great first day 🏔    Read more

    Revelstoke

    October 17, 2021 in Canada ⋅ ⛅ 7 °C

    We started the morning with a homemade (decaf) latte in the hottub, I can think of no better way to start the day.
    Next, we ventured out to Revelstoke. We tried to do the meadows in the sky drive up Mt. Revelstoke but the top was too snowy and the road was closed, so we only got to drive halfway. We decided to hike a little higher up as some fellow hikers said "it's just a short hike up and then it gets quite snowy". We thought that'd be cool so we decided to try it, well they were liars. We climbed the side of a mountain for almost an hour and I dont think we were even close to the snow.
    After that we went to Moses Falls, which was a short hike, but quite challenging getting to the top of the falls. Very beautiful though!
    For supper we went to the Whitetooth Bistro in Golden. We ordered mushroom sliders, and I am not lying when I say Cam was obsessed with them. Soo soo yummy. We also ordered oyster shooters, which we thought would be Oysters served in their shells, when in fact it was Oysters in a tequila shot!! Good thing we walked there!
    Overall an excellent second day 👌    Read more

    Relaxation Day

    October 18, 2021 in Canada ⋅ ☀️ 9 °C

    Not much to report from today. We were pretty tired and sore today from our hikes yesterday so we decided to have a relaxation day today.
    We did some shopping, and went for a walk downtown in Golden. Followed by some drinks on the deck to enjoy the beautiful day ☀️Read more

    Lussier Hotsprings and Lake Louise

    October 19, 2021 in Canada ⋅ ☁️ 4 °C

    Today we decided to start driving back to cut the overall drive in half.
    On our way we detoured south to the Lussier Hotsprings, which are natural hot springs beside a river. The drive there was a little bit scary as it was a gravel road along the edge of a mountain, sometimes there were barriers and sometimes not, it was a highly trafficked road though. Oh and we saw a bear!
    The hotsprings themselves were so awesome! Each "pool" was a different temperature, a few were too cold to sit in this time of year, but the hottest was super hot.
    Next we decided to stop at Lake Louise to take in the site of the beautiful turquoise lake. It was sooo sunny 🌞
    Finished the drive to Calgary where we ate at St James Irish Pub, and tried out luck at the Casino.    Read more
