Canada

Take the entire family for some fun at Lake Louise in Alberta, Canada. Set in the breathtaking Canadian Rockies, this Lake is the perfect place for relaxation as well as adventure. The kids will love to play in the outdoors at beautiful Banff National Park. You might also enjoy a professionally guided hike through Larch Valley, Staley Glacier, and Plain of 6 Glaciers. With over 113 trails, you will surely find a hike suitable for both you and the kids! Relax your mind as you go on a horseback ride through the golden fall leaves to Lake Agnes. However you choose to entertain yourself, be sure to keep a camera handy, as Lake Louise is set amongst the famous Victoria Glacier, a favorite destination for photographers.

RealTraveler Brisbird tells us:

“The view from our room of Lake Louise was amazing. It is hard to believe the color of the lake - a light turquoise. Today it is really cold outside - and as we looked up at the mountains, it looked like it was snowing!!! Not long after, as we were walking around and taking heaps of photos, a few flecks of snow start falling on us…We head off along the old highway towards Banff at around midday. We are limited on this road due to the native wildlife in the area, with the speed limit set to 50klm/hr. This makes the 130klm drive to Banff longer than expected. We stop along the way at Johnstone Canyon to stretch our legs on the 1.5km walk to the falls here” (more…)

Want to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday city life? Are you in need of some relaxation? This week we will explore several destinations that even adventuresome travelers will find invigorating!

Our first stop this week is scenic Vancouver Island. Pack your bags as well as your binoculars, as this island is abundant with wildlife! Make reservations for a whale watching trip—it’s a must! You will be mesmerized as the playful orcas frolic about in the open ocean. Be sure to keep those binoculars handy, as the island is home to over 220 species of birds! With a variety of outdoor activities including horseback riding, hiking, kayaking, and canoeing, Vancouver Island is truly a nature-lover’s dream.

When you take a break from exploring the great outdoors, you may find it relaxing to go wine tasting at one of the Island’s many vineyards. Home to the capital of Victoria, this island is loaded with history and culture galore! Several museums offer insight into the Island’s past. Some well known museums are the Royal BC Museum and the Maritime Museum of British Columbia. If you want a change of scenery, the convenient ferry service can take you on a day trip from Vancouver Island to the neighboring Gulf Islands. With so many sights to see, this laid back location will certainly keep you busy!

Realtraveler Bate’s Big Trip tells of adventures on Vancouver Island:

“We then did a second walk through more rain-forest down to Schooners Bay, at the end of Long Beach. It was a beautiful landscape, through the rain-forest a few km till we burst out onto a beach covered in enormous piles of driftwood, waves crashing on the enormous beach, the ocean full of densely forested islands and snow capped mountains in the background. We stayed here for a few hours, eating a picnic and climbing over the rocks and logs on the almost deserted beach, it was really magical.” (more…)
