One thing became abundantly clear after our amazing camping trip to Ram Falls in early July. I needed to get to Crescent Falls, stat! And with that realization, summer 2021 became the unofficial year of the Alberta waterfall. Like most people, I’m rather fond of waterfalls. They’re beautiful natural features, of course, but they also […]
Icefields Tent – Jasper National Park – review

The grand re-opening of Whistlers Campground after a major, multi-year refurbishment was coming and I was itching to see the results.
