Alberta Travel Blogs

Background: A land of vast distances and rich natural resources, Canada became a self-governing dominion in 1867 while retaining ties to the British crown. Economically and technologically the nation has developed in parallel with the US, its neighbor to the south across an unfortified border. Canada's paramount political problem is meeting public demands for quality improvements in health care and education services after a decade of budget cuts. The issue of reconciling Quebec's francophone heritage with the majority anglophone Canadian population has moved to the back burner in recent years; support for separatism abated after the Quebec government's referendum on independence failed to pass in October of 1995.

Heute morgen waren hier nur 9 °C und als wir nach dem Frühstück losfuhren zeigte das Termometer im Auto 12° an, aber es regnete (noch) nicht und wir fuhren zu den 3 Seen hier ganz in der Nähe. Der erste war Lake Johnson, um den haben wir es sogar geschafft herumzulaufen ( eine gute Stunde) und am Ende der Runde gab es das obligatorische erst Fußbad heute. Das Autotermometer schaffte es auch auf 15°. Anschließend fuhren wir weiter zu einem Nebensee vom Lake Minnewanka, den Two Jack Lake. Als S. und ich gerade nasse Füsse hatten kam auch noch das Wasser [View Full Entry]

Seul au monde... Pour cette premiere grande excursion d'une semaine, nous n'etions pas entierement rassures a l'idee de vivre au milieu d'une nature sauvage loin toute civilisation (sans telephone, sans internet, sans rien quoi ;-) Cependant toutes les conditions furent reunies pour nous faire apprecier le voyage. Le temps s'est maintenu au beau fixe durant les 6 premiers jours et les ours n'ont pas diminue notre effectif de plus d'une demi-personne, car seul la fatigue et la faim ont eu raison de nous. Malgre tout, la gestion de la nourriture s'est revelee des plus pertinante : nous avo [View Full Entry]

Today we spent some time in the town of Jasper walking on a path along the train tracks toward the station. Mid-day we left for Lake Louise which was about a 4 hour ride. Along the way we had a brief stop at the Columbia Icefield which was amazing and very cold. We also saw 4 adult bears and 2 baby bears which were right along the roadway at 3 different spots. Wow is really all you can say about Lake Louise. The hotel is right on the lake so we decided to canoe and get some cool pictures of the [View Full Entry]

Von Cranbrook ging es heute morgen nach gutem Frühstück weiter Richtung Banff. Beim Aufstehen gab es noch Sonnenschein, der aber bald durch die Wolken verdrängt wurde. Los ging es dann so gegen 10:00 Uhr, nachdem noch die von S. in Kalispell vergessenen Zahnbürste, aus dem Dollarstore gegenüber vom Hotel, ersetzt wurde. Cranbrook hatte doch keine Zeitverschiebung, ich dachte sie beginnt mit der Grenze nach British Columbia, aber sie beginnt wohl doch etwas westlicher. So brauchten wir unsere Uhren nicht zu stellen. Unterwegs hatten wir sehr verschiednes Wetter mit Temperaturen von 10° bis 2 [View Full Entry]

sunday 5th july - We went to a muscle cars show at a Mall. Declan loved it, they were all old cars from North America so he'd not seen many before. here's Declan to tell you a few - Saleen S281, Ford Lightning, Corvette Stingray, Chevorlet Camaro, Corvette C6, Old Ford Mustang, Alpha Romeo Spider, 3 Mini Coopers and many more. Then we went into the Mall and spent about an hour shopping we bought cd's and books and stuff. after dinner Dana & me went swimming at the rec centre in Leduc the pool is pretty good - water slide, [View Full Entry]

Day 33. Friday. Another fabulous day of riding. There are'nt a lot of options when it comes to roads in this area so I retraced my path to Golden, BC but this time I stayed on highway 1 and went to Glacier National Park. I stopped at several road side attractions that I skipped yesterday. There is a spot called the Spiral Tunnels where in the 1920's they dug and blasted two spiral tunnels in the mountains for the railroad because it was too steep for the trains to climb out of the valley. Pretty ingenious. The road to Golden is [View Full Entry]
