Potpourri

On November 1, 2022November 4, 2022 By GeoKsIn Photography4 Comments

Not your (grand)mother's potpourri, this collection of photographs features golden leaves, the typical fall colour in Banff and Canmore.

Yamnuska Scramble and West Col Descent

On September 26, 2022September 26, 2022 By GeoKsIn Bow Valley3 Comments

Trail upgrades in 2021 improved scramble conditions to the summit of Yamnuska. But this is still a challenging half-day adventure, especially daunting for those with any fear of heights/exposure.

Aylmer Pass – Banff NP

On November 7, 2020November 7, 2020 By GeoKsIn Banff NPLeave a comment

Fall is a great time to undertake the long hike to Aylmer Pass in Banff National Park. Next time we'll do the Lake Minnewanka Trail portion on mountain bikes so that we have the time/energy to make the side trip to Aylmer Lookout.

Sunset Lookout & Sunset Pass – Banff NP

On November 4, 2020November 4, 2020 By GeoKsIn Banff NP2 Comments

Most of the hiking guidebooks we own strongly recommend the trail to Sunset Pass. But the trailhead is a two hour drive from Canmore (three hours from Calgary). That's a pretty big investment of time and gas money. So this one stayed on the "someday" list for years before we finally got around to it in mid-September. Too bad we put it off for so long!

Photo Blogging Challenge – Colourful (September 2018)

On September 30, 2018 By GeoKsIn Photography2 Comments

Street photographers would respond to this month's theme with portraits of fascinating people. For nature/landscape photographers, the transition of summer to fall is rich with everything from flowers, to autumn leaves and blue skies. Add five days of Beakerhead to the mix for a wide range of colourful subjects.
