2010 Chevrolet Equinox, A Review

2010 Chevrolet Equinox, A Review

We weren’t asked by General Motors to write a review about the new 2010 Chevrolet Equinox. We weren’t even asked by them to blog about our time on the Chevy Equinox Rocky Mountain Adventure. Like everything that we put on this site, we only write about what excites and inspires us. If we didn’t love our experience and find it worth sharing with you, we wouldn’t post it. So, after test driving the 2010 Chevy Equinox we came to the conclusion that, this vehicle could be our next purchase. It has everything that fits the adventurers needs and then some.

It was sad to see our Rocky Mountain Adventure end. We really enjoyed ourselves with the gang from General Motors and the other bloggers and writers in the group. But it was our last day driving the Equinox and it was time to head out for our final adventure. We were going to walk on the Athabasca Glacier at the Columbia Ice Fields.

While paddling Dave commented on what an “Authentic Canadian Moment” we were having – Canoeing in the Rocky’s on the majestic Lake Louise. He managed to take some great views of the Glacier from a different angle than what others were stuck with being in front of the Chateau Fairmont. Also, looking back towards the hotel was quite beautiful and having the structure in front of the hills and forests gave a great perspective of just how large the land is.

We have always wanted to climb in the Rocky Mountains. Finally, the day had come on the Chevy Equinox Adventure Drive. On Day one, Dave and I drove ourselves in our spiffy 2010 Equinox to Canmore where we met James; our guide from Yamnuska Mountain Adventures. It is the premier climbing school in the Rocky’s so we were in very good hands.

Alberta is home to simply the most beautiful mountain range we have ever seen on the planet. Driving north from Calgary towards the Rocky Mountain range was breathtaking. We could only come up with one word over and over. Another writer on the drive Chris, used the word Dramatic to describe the drive while we were eating dinner the first night and he was right. Once those rocky mountains appeared we just couldn’t get the word “dramatic” out of our heads.
