Ready to Hit the Road

Welcome to My First Cross-Canada Adventure! 


I have decided to try out this whole "blog" thing as I make my way from Southwestern Ontario, to British Columbia and back. I have never considered myself a writer, so you will have to bear with me as I stumble along. My goal is to try to post when I get the chance, but given my journey, I am not sure how often that will be. I hope you enjoy reading along, and thank you, for joining me on my adventure!

The Journey 

I will be staying at a variety of different accommodations, which includes a lot of camping, a few hostels, and of course, staying with some family and friends. I will be travelling north through Ontario, before heading west, hitting up several provincial and national parks along the way. Of course, this is more than just a hiking adventure! When I get to Jasper National Park, I will being doing the Icewalk, which will take me out onto the Athabasca glacier! When I get to BC I have a whale watching tour planned in Vancouver, in addition to a journey across the new Peak Suspension Bridge in Whistler!

Packed and Ready

Tonight I packed my bags, which is probably the earliest I have ever packed before a trip! My camping gear is ready. I just need to load up my car, and I am good to go. Only two more sleeps until I hit the road! Saying I'm excited is an understatement. Months of planning and researching, and now the wait is over, the time is finally here! 

I can't wait to share my adventure with you!

First Few Days in Burnaby/Vancouver Area

      Bridge Prep   As soon as the suspension bridge in Whistler went up, I knew  I had  to go. Now, to get ready for this, we hit up a couple of smaller suspension bridges. We went to Lynn Canyon, which has a small bridge, some trails, and a few areas to swim. This would have been great if we were wanting to swim, but we were just killing time until the Capilano Suspension Bridge Park hit its evening hour prices. Don't get me wrong, Lynn Canyon was pretty, it just wasn't what we were looking for at the time. Capilano Suspension Bridge was larger than the one at Lynn Canyon. The park also offered a lot of different activities, including a treetop walk, boardwalks, and a cliff walk. They also had some educational signage, and programs. As cool as it was, I feel I wouldn't need to go again. I got my fix.  Stanley Park Stanley Park is massive, and as we were on foot, we only got to see a fraction of it. The first thing we did was head over t...

Lakes of the Bluest Blue Peyto Lake How could we say we went to Banff National Park without seeing the stunning blue lakes? Needless to say, we made stops at Peyto Lake, Morraine Lake, and Lake Louise. All stunning, and all slightly different. They are the perfect spot to capture a "greenscreen-esque" photo, where the background looks perfectly fake. If you go early you will beat some if the crowd. But with a little patience, and a keen eye, you will be able to find a perfect spot for a photo. Whether it is a break in the crowd, or finding a spot a little further away. At Lake Louise, we hiked up the Agnes Lake trail, to Agnes Lake and the Tea House. This was a very pretty, but fairly tough hike, but there's a few spots where you can see Lake Louise from above, and a waterfall at the top! You also have the chance to grab tea or a small bite at the tea house if you want. It was too busy for me to wait in line, but they had several options for tea! Lake Louise...
