travelers stories about Hill in Athabasca Glacier, Canada

Hill in Athabasca Glacier, Canada

  13 km from Icefields Parkway


My girlfriend and I went on a trip to the Canadian Rockie Mountains over the long weekend. As we pulled over to stretch our legs I got hit with this raw reality of how small I am compared to these massive bouldering rock creations. I had to take a second from shooting and just gaze around me and thank God for the beautiful world he made.

travelers stories about Ocean in Abraham Lake, Canada

Ocean in Abraham Lake, Canada

  43 km from Icefields Parkway


In the midst of the Canadian Rocky Mountains is a lake that expels methane gas. Over the course of the winter, the surface water freezes over, trapping the methane gas in the ice. On clear days, the ice appears crystalline, leaving the frozen methane bubbles highly visible

Abraham Lake in Alberta is well known for these ice bubbles that occur every winter. The plant material at the bottom of the lake produces methane gas which then freezes in the ice.

travelers stories about Mountain in Spirit Island, Canada

Mountain in Spirit Island, Canada

  60 km from Icefields Parkway


Absolutely loved this place. It’s not easy to get to and you absolutely need to be ok with driving a long way in a car, but that island, albeit, small is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen.

Kayaking in Maligne Lake, Canada

  63 km from Icefields Parkway


We canoed 14km down Maligne Lake to Spirit Island in perfect conditions. On our way back up the lake the weather changed swiftly and the 14km back to the boat house against relentless headwinds and strong waves almost broke us. A true adventure we’ll never forget.

We hiked to capture this gorgeous lake that looks like a Fox. It drizzled on our way up top and then the sun pop out, which made it pretty great with the rainbow.

travelers stories about Glacial landform in Nordegg, Canada

Glacial landform in Nordegg, Canada

  74 km from Icefields Parkway


This is where I spent my Saturday morning. How about you? Bubblers are the people who go out to this lake to see the methane bubbles that appear under the surface of the ice. I was on the verge of freezing to death and had to retreat into the van but the others managed to catch a glimpse of them. I regret it though- next time I’d lose a toe for the photo. For now, I’m not yet a bubbler!

Lake in Banff, Canada

As we were driving through Banff national park, we happened upon this small lake early in the morning. The mist was just burning off and the waters were so calm, they provided the perfect surface for a stunning reflection of the tree line.

travelers stories about Glacial lake in Yoho National Park, Canada

Glacial lake in Yoho National Park, Canada

  85 km from Icefields Parkway


Our tour across the Rockies had taken us far across British Columbia and Alberta. On day three we set out in thick fog and pouring rain. The plan was to strike out for Lake Louise and Emerald Lake in the hope the sun might show up. Luck was on our side, we left the bad weather behind us and were treated to the stunning trademark views everyone has come to expect of Canada.

Mountain river in Yoho National Park, Canada

  85 km from Icefields Parkway


On a day trip out to Yoho National park to see Takkakaw Falls I drove across this bridge, and as I was approaching it I knew I'd have to get out and get a photo because of how awesome it is. I just feel like it really works with the mountain, it's got a great aesthetic to me.

travelers stories about Recreational fishing in Yoho National Park, Canada

Recreational fishing in Yoho National Park, Canada

  85 km from Icefields Parkway


We started hiking the Iceline trail with every intention of finishing it, but the weather had other plans. Rain, hails, snow - the further we hiked along the exposed and rugged trail, the more unpredictable the weather got. So we decided to turn back and cut off the trail to head to Yoho Lake instead. Taking cover under the massive pine trees, the rain slowly tapered off until it stopped all together leaving the lake with a glasslike surface that allowed not only for reflections of the trees and mountain, but all of our thoughts as well. “Model” - @dannykashh

The raging Yoho River in Yoho National Park, British Columbia. This river was incredibly loud, and it wasn't until halfway through my shooting that I realised if a bear was behind me... I would have had no idea haha!

Driving through the Canadian Rockies was probably the one of the best experiences I had in Canada. When we stopped for ice skating on the frozen Mildred Lake, I captured this awesome view.

Glacial lake in Lake Agnes Tea House, Canada

  101 km from Icefields Parkway


This was taken near the Lake Agnes Tea house where me and my friend hiked too. We had lunch at the tea house and I thought that this would make for a beautiful photo. I loved that the snow hadn’t fully melted and that the lake is still largely frozen over even in late May.

Forest in Lake Agnes, Canada

Walking up the trail that runs alongside Lake Louise and up to Lake Agnes. Not only does the shape of the path guide you, the light does too. Canada is beautiful, and even something as simple as walking through a forest can be such a picturesque thing.

When we arrived at Lake Louise for our first adventure in Canada’s Banff National Park, we were stunned by its beautiful color and the craggy mountains it was nestled between. As we hiked up for increasingly stunning views, we were able to catch glimpses of the lake. This shot shows Mirror Lake (foreground) and Lake Louise (background).
