The Grand Teton and other mountains of the Teton range are visible almost anywhere you go in the park along with glistening gold Aspens and other fall foliage. Stunning landscape.

Our two wildlife photographers extraordinaire, aka Greg & Helen, left at sunrise on our third day, headed north to Lamar Valley, hoping for some great wildlife photo ops. They saw a Pronghorn and several large bison herds, some crossing the road right in front of them. Pronghorns look like antelopes and are colloquially known in North

Geysers, pools, and hot springs, oh my! Off on our second full day of exploring Yellowstone. But first, Helen and I left for Murphy’s morning walk in 30° temps. Brrr. The frost on nearby Fishing Bridge with the Yellowstone River running below was an awesome scene for some great photos. Helen captured an especially beautiful scene

We made it back to the U.S.! But first a bit more of Canadian fun. Several weeks ago, we met Mark from Saskatchewan, Canada in Smithers, British Columbia. He and his wife were traveling with another couple, both in Truck Campers for a few weeks. We mentioned our route back to the U.S. and that

The most popular hikes were the shorter hikes to the

Before reaching Banff, Greg & Helen had one more day in Mount Robson campground and they took full advantage of the beautiful weather (in the 70’s). First, they went on a 9-mile hike which included a stop at the Kinney Lake (the gorgeous feature photo) and then, if that was not enough, they hiked to

We arrived in Prince George, British Columbia, seeing our first stoplight just outside of town. This must be a big city!! It does have a population of almost 77,000. After seeing stores after stores and dozens of restaurants, we arrived to our RV park a bit outside of the main “city” in a beautiful wooded

We have a few days to explore before our Banff National Park reservations, so we stayed two extra nights at our next stop in Smithers, B.C. Smithers was named after Sir Alfred Smithers, the chairman of Grand Trunk Pacific Railway who had selected the location as one of their stops in 1913. This is when
