The Canadian Rockies are incredible. The route that we took, from Calgary and Banff to Lake Louise, Mt. Robson Provincial Park and then back to Calgary through Jasper, was stunningly beautiful. And I never knew that Calgary was such a fun town. It’s worth a visit!
Today I had to drive through a couple storms to complete a project. It was exciting at times.
For the first time in several winters Minnesotans finally had enough consistent snow and cold to enjoy winter. Even though the legislative session was brutal, I was still able to get out and play!
I didn’t have enough time to update my New York photos pool until now, so here are some highlights from the rest of the trip.
Four days in New York City doesn’t seem like quite enough to see anything more than the highlights and that’s what I’ve been doing. This is a taste of what will make for fun and unique trips in the future.
A quick weekend in Washington, DC was, as usually happens, a whirlwind of people and unexpected outings. It was a blast! As I write this, I’m riding to New York City on a Bolt-Bus using the on-board wifi. I love practical applications of technology.
After a 5 day backpacking trip through the back country in Glacier National Park it dawned on me that I had never before said WOW so frequently in such a short period of time. Entering the park through Canada’s Waterton Park and then backpacking from Goat Haunt over the Stoney Indian Pass and through the Ptarmigan tunnel to Many Glacier was a spectacular way to see a precious gem in the Rocky Mountains. If you can prepare yourself to possibly confront a grizzly bear, then this trip is worth doing.
Paddling 70 miles in three days on the Mississippi, from St. Cloud to Minneapolis, was a sublime way to see an increasingly more urbanized river.
