Snapshot Sunday, The Canadian Rockies
We are in Nepal and have been on the road for four months. The Himalayas are beautiful, and it makes us a little homesick for Canada. We had the opportunity to go out to Alberta this summer with General Motors. They brought us out for an adventure drive and we fell in love with the Rocky Mountains. Before we share our beautiful photos from Nepal, we just wanted to share just how beautiful Canada can be as well. We are lucky, we get to travel the world and we hail from a great and glorious country.
Trekking the Athabasca Glacier on our Rocky Mountain Adventure Drive
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.
Climbing In Canmore, Alberta With the Chevy Equinox Adventure Drive
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.
Chevy Equinox Rocky Mountain Adventure – Part 1; An Overview
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.
