Michelle recently visited the Canadian Rockies all the way from Nova Scotia Canada and made the journey to the Columbia Icefield for a glacier tour like no other.
"the drive was hardly boring ... it was actually awe-inspiring. this is a part of the mountains that I have never seen before ... I can pretty much know the highway from calgary to lake louise by heart, but every turn on the icefields parkway was a surprise."

Seattle based musician Kyle Stevens recently took his first trip to Calgary and the Canadian Rockies. He wrote about his experience along side his photos on his personal blog.
"Though I was only up for a full day before being dropped of here at the airport, I did get to do the tourist thing by heading up to the top of Sulphor Mt. via the Gondola. A 10 minute trip [actually it's only 8 minutes :) editor] takes you up a rapidly escalating 9,000 feet to the top of the mountain and some of the cleanest air you've ever breathed. Crisp, cold as hell, and peaceful, a 1/4 mile walkway leads you along a swerving path that eventually reaches an outpost that was used in 1921 as a Canadian Mountie lookout station...that back then took 9 hours to reach from the bottom of the mountain."
