Assiniboine Provincial Park
3-day hike into the heart of the Rockies, a mountain so iconic it has a dessert named after it. A place where lakes glow turquoise even under grey skies, where trails turn into rivers, and where you realize just how much you can love hiking – even when you’re soaking wet. Our backpacking adventure into Assiniboine Provincial Park was muddy, cold, and full of surprises. But it was still perfectly unforgettable.
Canada, AB - Yoho & Kootenay NP
When you give yourself four days and a car, the Canadian Rockies are more than ready to put on a show. Yoho and Kootenay National Parks welcomed us with thundering waterfalls, quiet alpine lakes, sudden snow flurries, and the kind of silence that makes you forget your inbox exists. We slept in the car, hiked until our legs hurt, dodged storms, and even fenced off our vehicle from porcupines (true story). Here’s how four days of wild weather turned into some of our most memorable adventures.
Canada, AB - Waterton
We finally settled down a bit in Banff, found a second job and started enjoying Canada. We have set the same days off at work, so every free day with nice weather we hike somewhere (we don’t have a car yet, so we choose hikes accessible by bus or bike). Our shifts for the beginning of August have changed somewhat and we have 5 days off in row so we wanna go on some real adventure. We are going to Waterton.
Canada as it is, without rose-colored glasses
A big dream is coming true … and immediately after returning from Tenerife and Madeira, we deal with the last outstanding issues, saying goodbye and packing for Canada.
Fortunately, we managed everything well, we didn’t forget anything, and thanks to the time difference, we are in Canada on January 24, 2024 a shortly before 5 PM.
