Redstreak Campground in Kootenay National Park (part of the world-renowned Rocky Mountain National Parks in Western Canada) is another campground whose reputation precedes it. Talk to Calgarians or lurk on Alberta camping Facebook forums, and Redstreak is regularly lauded. Like all raved about camping spots, I had to find out why. This was the summer […]
