Despite experiencing first hand why Bergen is known as the rainiest city in Europe, we packed a lot into our 4 days out and about in Bergen. It's a very walkable city, with a good mix of attractions and activities.

Our family enjoys outdoor adventures in the beautiful southwest corner of Alberta: hiking, biking, nature photography and geocaching are some of our favourite activities.
We started hiking as a family in 2004, when our youngest was 4 years old. We started geocaching in 2006, when our friends "Sears Tower" introduced us to high-tech treasure hunting. We especially enjoy earthcaches. We've been slowly migrating from paved path cycling to single-track riding. And as far as photography goes, we've been improving our skills ever since I started blogging about our outdoor adventures in 2008.
I blog mainly to create a family journal that includes all of our outdoor adventures. It’s a convenient way for extended family to find out about what we’ve been up to, when and if they want. Beyond those entirely selfish reasons, I like to think I'm providing some visitors to Calgary, Canmore, Banff National Park and Kananaskis Country with information that will help them choose between between the many of hiking options available.
Thanks for visiting!

Self-Care
Spending time in Nature, eating well and regular exercise are just some of my self-care practices.
Be Present
This month’s photo blogging challenge was to “be present.” In a series of 5 photos, I share my best efforts.

In this edition of Nearby Nature Project, I write about Canada's 2025 wildfire season, link to articles about Nature connectedness and provide an update on my ongoing birding, wildflower, wildlife and gardening Nearby Nature Projects.
Explore the World
We explored our little piece of the world with a lot of bike rides this month, getting in a lot of the classic spring road rides in Banff and Yoho National Parks, along with the challenging Highwood Pass.
