Lake O’Hara (August 30, 2018)

This past summer my best friend, Autumn, and I had the exciting opportunity to visit Lake O'Hara. It is quite difficult to get into Lake O'Hara as only a limited number of people per day at certain times of the year are allowed in. On April 20 at 8 am my mom had me up …

Day 7 Part (2/3) Arizona Trip: Walnut Canyon

I am still working to get caught up on my trip to Arizona, but I will get it done (I promise!). On August 30 I went to Lake O’Hara, so stayed tuned for that blog post. I found out about Walnut Canyon while searching for more places in Arizona that were like Montezuma Castle and …

Day 6 & Day 7 Part (1/3) Arizona Trip: Rest & Meteor Crater

For day 6 we planned to do nothing. We were exhausted from the previous two days, so we slept in, did some laundry, and went to Golden Corral for dinner. Then, the next day we went on another whirlwind adventure. We woke up really early and went to the Meteor Crater, Walnut Canyon, and Sedona. …

Day 5 (Part 2/3) Arizona Trip: Upper Antelope Canyon

After visiting Glen Canyon Dam we headed over for our first tour at 10:30 am which was the Upper Antelope Canyon Tour. Oh, my goodness, this canyon took my breath away. The colours and shapes of the rocks were exquisite. My pictures do not do this place justice. I have a few tips if you …

Bankhead, Alberta — Banff National Park

Since I am still not quite done school for the semester I have yet to go on any recent adventures. Therefore, I thought I would write about another hike from last summer. A bit of history... Bankhead, Alberta is now an old abandoned coal mining town. According to some of my research the town was …

Cold War Bunker!

During summer 2016 my mom, my friend, and of course myself went for a hike that we had found about through some research. As I mentioned in my post about waterfalls I prefer hikes where we have a goal in mind (i.e. making it to a waterfall or in this case ... a Cold War Bunker!). I …
