Ending summer with some Vancouver tours
Before fall settled in, we finished the last of our summer tours with hikes to Stawamus Chief, Bowen Island, Lynn Canyon, Lighthouse Park, Capilano Canyon, Gastown, Granville Island and Stanley Park. Check out the photo gallery
Los Angeles
In the last of our series of trips to the US West Coast, we finish with the city of angels. Venturing into mostly new beaches and neighborhoods rather than popular tourist spots, LA was the closest thing to the tropical paradises we Canadians so craved during the pandemic.One aspect that impressed us was the free…
San Francisco
Mark Twain is credited with the saying that the worst winter he’d ever spent was a summer in San Francisco. Although we’ve been quite lucky with our previous visits, last summer’s trip proved the weather does see extemes. We went from cloudy, windy and cold to a beautiful summer’s sunny day within a few hours.…
U.S. West Coast Road Trip
After a four year hiatus, we finally ventured into the U.S. last summer, with our popular road trip across Washington, Oregon and California. Over the next 3 albums, we’ll recap our tour starting with Seattle, Oregon, Sacramento and my favourite US National Park, Yosemite. Check out the photo gallery
Okanagan Hotspot becomes really ‘hot’!
Late summer of 2021 brought us some crazy weather – heat domes, wildfires, the delta surge – and one of the hot spots of all these was the Okanagan. We soldiered on with our tours carefully and safely planned. Here are some pics from our first trip, along with the local Whistler, St. Mark’s, Lynn…
The Rockies – Jasper National Park
We end our series on last summer’s Rockies trip with Jasper National Park. The less touristy one than Banff, Jasper offers some hidden gems, especially if you’re willing to go off the beaten – and onto more rugged – paths.Our annual (and popular) Rockies tours will open this year in May and continue till October,…
More Photos of the Rockies and Vancouver
Continuing with our photos from last summer: more of the Rockies, Joffre Lakes, Bowen Island, Gastown and Capilano Canyon. This year highlighted the pandemic’s challenges as well as environmental disasters especially close to home. Wildfires and floods affected many of these natural wonders along with the people and wildlife who call them home. Nature PhotoHikes’…
The Rockies in Pictures
A look back at our summer trip to the Rockies, focusing on Banff and Yoho National Parks. Still a popular destination during these pandemic times, a few hidden gems takes us away from the crowds. Having lived near the Rockies for most of my life, the beauty of this natural wonder never ceases to amaze…
Photos of Summer Alpine Hikes
By far the two most popular tours in the summer, the full day hikes take you up to alpine lakes surrounded by glaciers. Already a local favourite, the pandemic has resulted in more reasonable crowds – one has to reserve spots at 7am which fills up in less than a minute! Thanks to Nature PhotoHikes’…
Summer Hikes Continue
It’s been a while since we posted photos, back in spring of this year. The summer was extremely busy with plenty of local Vancouver tours, in addition to trips to the Okanagan, Alberta Rockies and finally after a 6 year break – Washington, Oregon and California. Here’s the first album of tours to Lynn Canyon,…
