Photo Blogging Challenge – Empty Nesters (July 2016)

On By GeoKsIn Photography12 Comments

The theme for this month's photo blogging challenge is actually Photographer's Choice. With our oldest son at university for spring semester and our youngest son away at SHAD for 27 days, this was our first time being empty nesters for longer than a few days at a stretch. We opted to enjoy much of our time being out and about, hiking, biking and exploring in Canmore, Banff and Kananaskis Country. The obvious choice for this month's post was to showcase highlights from our empty nester trial period.

Cycling the High Rockies Trail (Driftwood to Buller Creek)

On By GeoKsIn Biking3 Comments

Construction of the High Rockies Trail is slated for completion prior to Canada's 150th celebration in 2017. Trail runners, hikers and mountain bikers are already exploring the completed section running from Goat Creek to Buller Creek in the Spray Valley. We rode from Driftwood Day Use Area to Buller Creek and rate the High Rockies Trail two thumbs up. With multiple access points, some great views and lots of ups and downs, this trail is sure to be popular with locals and visitors alike. We'll definitely ride it again (and again).
