Pine trees as far as the eye can see. All of these things are synonymous with Alberta’s Highway 93, which I’ll go out on a limb and say is one…
Summer in the Canadian Rockies seems to be all about three things: epic mountains, ice-cold rivers, and crystal clear lakes. Banff definitely has all three in spades, with the Rockies rising high all around the town, the Bow River running turquoise through its centre, and a number of lakes dotting the valleys nearby. I loved…

Scale the top of a mountain peak and you’ll see a completely different world–one that is awesome in the true sense of the…
As a photographer, I felt like I almost knew the Canadian Rockies even before I’d been there for the first time.
