Mount Royal Banff

... possible, its an awsome night that I think Australians are really missing out on.<br>Last night I went to a cool little jazz club in downtown seattle to see John Hammond Jr, an old blues guy from New York, the show was pretty good, as was the company.<br>Tomorow I have to jump on a bus for about 15 hours to go have a job interview at kicking horse, fingers crossed I actually get the job and can start organising my life in Canada.

... From time to time we wondered if we had made the right decision. But each time we looked back up toward Numa Pass, all we saw were dark threatening clouds and we were glad we were heading home. The end of the trail was a welcome pleasure where everyone ...

Am Montagmorgen sind wir sehr früh erwacht, nutzten aber die Zeit (und wie sich herausstellen sollte das letzte schöne Wetter für die nächsten zwei Tage), um ausgiebig die Geocaches in der Nähe zu suchen.<br> <br>Das Entgegennehmen des Campers gegen Mittag von West Coast Moutain Campers in Calgary dauerte ewig! Der Papierkram war zwar schnell erledigt, doch dann wurde uns mitgeteilt, dass die ...

On my first weekend off work, my house mate and I decided we would go into the next town as we had to do some grocery shopping. It was pretty exciting going somewhere other than Lake Louise. The town of Banff is very picturesque, just like any other country town though. I was fortunate enough to be able to have a stroll around town and do a little window shopping whilst I was there. I went into the touristy shop to look at the trinketts and other ...

... the HI Alpine Center in Lake Louise is great - friendly staff, a brilliant cafe for breakfast and dinner and the possibility to use the showers even after we checked out. The room was OK for one night ... The next day was glorious again. We hiked the 4km up to Lake Louise which we had last seen some nine years ago. The last few meters we sprinted to the lake in eager anticipation to see the unique turquoise color - just to see that the lake was frozen ... what a "shock ...

... making reservations at this restaurant, ask for the corner table that faces Banff Ave and Buffalo Street. It's the best table in the restaurant and the view is beautiful especially if you are eating during the daytime while there is still sunshine. I ordered an appetizer called 'Chef's Favorite Combo' which the Beaujolais has kept on the menu since 1980. The combo consists of Foie Gras ...

... Park. After setting up, we headed off to Lake Louise. The weather was improving although raindrops occasionally hit the windshield. We passed three deer along the side of the road on the way into Lake Louise. They only stayed for a few photos and then headed back into the woods. Even with the cool weather, there were lots of folks enjoying Lake Louise, some even canoeing ...

A couple of weeks have passed since my last entry......I have been having trouble uploading photos on to my blog. I have been trying unsuccessfully over the past few weeks.... I am now working full-time at Hidden Ridge Resort (HRR). It has been a bit to get used to as it really is a totally different sort of property, quite unlike Caribou Lodge where everything was under the one roof. I have actually made the effort to walk to work a few times, which is ...

... It had been raining heavily the morning we left Jasper. Once we boarded the bus though, it brightened up. The first thing I remember thinking was that the views were like something you see on a calender for the month of October. I can now say I have seen Autumn. It was that textbook it doesn't look quite real. The colours on the trees were so bright, they almost looked citric. Like lemons and limes were ...

... Bob was stopped at a rest stop to adjust his radio station he made contact with a bear, just a little guy. He was pretty busy emptying out the garbage cans looking for some easy food. They both stared at each other but the bear made the first move and darted into the brush. The weather was still good as Bob stopped in Sudbury for a late lunch. Clouds were really moving in now, and making it pretty black. By the time he got to North Bay ...
