We had an early wake-up call (4:00) to catch the ferry from Bella Coola to Port Hardy on the Vancouver Island. After a few hours of sailing, the captain came on the speakers and announced that he had probably taken the right turn from Bella Coola and he thinks he now knows where we are.…

After Grey Wells yesterday, the scenery started changing from the mountaineous to the hilly and it kept that way after Williams Lake as well. We did start seeing some great autumn colours though and it was a calm day so colours reflected nicely on the roadside lakes. Then inevitably we came to what the locals…

Of course, the morning we have to leave Jasper is the morning that is sunny. But can’t help it… At least we saw some nice morning scenery on the way, and even spotted some moose – they are the bigger cousins of the moose we have at home, so it was special. Mt Robson was…

Jasper is really getting washed out. Yet another rainy morning, so we used it for treating ourselves to a pancake and maple syrup breakfast. It was good. Then we did a short hike at Cottonwood Slough, tried a few photos but it was forced. Now it was just a matter of killing time until lunch,…

It has to be that I always have bad weather when I’m in Jasper… I think it was overcast, drizzly and cold here when I was here back then. We checked out the Cavell Lake but of course there wasn’t any glorious morning light to speak of. So we drove to Maligne Lake and now…

Time to move on to Jasper, via Icefields Parkway. I had high exceptations and I guess that it was my downfall – the weather didn’t co-operate 100% so I just felt let down and only took a handful of pictures, mostly at Peyto Lake.We checked in at the Mount Edith Cavell wilderness hostel at dusk,…

The light seemed to be good in the morning and there was no fog. We headed out in search of the ultimate sunrise photo, but we found elk instead – grazing on a meadow a bit off the road. I finally got some use out of the 300mm lens I’ve been dragging with me, so…

The weather is finally improving! We got some sunshine already in the morning, but it kept coming and going in the fog. We did the Lake Minnewanka loop and although it initially was cold and foggy, it got truly magical by the time we reached the lake itself. The fog kept constantly changing, hiding and…

Time to move on, to Banff. It was another cold and overcast morning but nothing to do about it, just get going. We took the Bow Valley Parkway and stopped at every spot the book said was worthwhile. It’s just that on an overcast day, not many of the stops were actually worthwhile. We did…

It had snowed overnight, but it looked like the sky was going to clear a little bit during the day so we drove to Moraine Lake, hoping to find 4 other people who would hike with us to Larch Valley. There is a law in Canada that during increased bear encounter risk, you have to…
