Moss's AbroadI didn't know I could move with so many layers on. We have it all from woollen socks, thermals, scarves, and gloves. It was all worth it. 🇨🇦🫶
Banff to Jasper

Jasper to Vancouver.
October 29, 2025 in Canada ⋅ 🌙 7 °C
Early morning start, not too early as the trains never run on time. We were only an hour late leaving, so pretty good! Passenger trains have to give way to freight trains as they own the lines. IRead more

Moss's Abroad
So funny, I was telling Col about you and I at Mena Creek. 🤣 This picture is actually a walk way hanging off a cliff. The suspension bridge is about 3 as long as Mena Creek, not sure what it would be like in the peak season.
The colours of Stanley Park.
