Still one of the most spectacular day hikes in Jasper! Swipe to see my backcountry animal encounter.

(Note: I NEVER approach wild animals. These were on the trail and I was very careful and respectful and walked quickly past them. Took the photo whi

It’s a beautiful week for Fringe-ing! What are you going to see? 

Swipe to the second image for my recommendation. A Cabaret of Legends was spectacular!

Gloomy skies, but Head Smashed In Buffalo Jump is still an incredible sight.
I can’t tell if the view is more breathtaking from inside or outside. What do you think? 

📍 Waterton Lakes National Park

Did I do a cannonball off the end of this dock into this glacier fed lake after my hike? Yes. 

Was it so cold I almost stopped breathing? Also yes. 

Would I do it again? ABSOLUTELY.
