Fall Camping

I spent this past weekend in the mountains north of Golden, B.C. on a much needed, very relaxing, camping trip. We were car camping, no hiking, no biking...no activities other than sitting around the campfire and enjoying the scenery.

We were on the backside (west side) of the Columbia Icefields, which most people don't usually see, and I found it much more spectacular than the front (east) side where the visitors center is. The fall colors on the trees and the fresh snow on top of the mountains made for an absolutely beautiful weekend. 

This is Pascal, myself, and Genevieve goofing around in front of the icefield

Gorgeous mountains!

I was told that I had some great pictures from this past weekend and since its been awhile since I've updated my blog...

Vince and I rode our bikes to Lake Louise from Castle Junction (about 35km each way)

This is in the village before we started up the hill to the lake, with Mt. Temple in the background
Vince and I at the lake....it was a beautiful day!There used to be a rowing club at the lake, but they shut it down this summer and took all the boats away. Vince wants to know why...

Snowshoeing at Sawmill

This past weekend Riley and I went up to Kananaskis with my friend Genevieve and her fiance Alex and did about a 3 hour snowshoe tour from the Sawmill trailhead. I hadn't been that far into the mountains in Kananaskis yet and it was beautiful! All three of us decided we'd like to spend a bit more time there...

My friend Chelsea got a new camera for Christmas and came out for a walk with me and Riley the other day....
