Remembering Canada

Remembering Canada

For the past week, I have been scrolling through the memories on my Facebook and phone’s camera roll. Remembering Canada and reliving the days of our trip a year ago, travelling through Alberta, to celebrate my parent’s 30th wedding anniversary.

Remembering Canada

We flew into Calgary, Alberta’s largest city, and took in the sights of the Calgary Zoo

Bow River, and the view of downtown from the Peace Bridge.

One of my favorite days of the trip, was the time we spent traveling the “Cowboy Trail” and explored the best of Alberta’s Foothills. 

Learning about cowboy history at the Bar U Ranch

and getting to see some of the filming locations for the television series, Heartland.

and treasurers.

The day of my parent’s 30th Anniversary, August 29th, we spent in the area around the town of Banff.

and exploring Bow Falls and the Banff Springs Hotel.

But if there is one view in Canada that trumps them all (even with smoky skies from BC wildfires) that would be Moraine Lake.
