Default Back from my Canada Vacation

The wife and I just got back from our Canada vacation.. We flew into Calgary, then stayed a few nights at a Lodge in British Columbia (WAY OFF IN THE STICKS). All in all it was an awesome trip, we did tons of hiking and saw alot of wildlife, include 2 bears!!! On a side note, we hated Banff, it was just a tourist nightmare, all kinds of ******* walking around.... HUGE tourist herds of Asian people, most of which carried a set of directions tied around their neck because they only spoke Japanese.... So i would not recommend Banff...

We also did a trail ride which was fun until our guide went insane and went off trail... Basically we were climbing up a mountain in the middle of the forest, knocking over bushes and bumping against trees... towards the end my horse got a little spooked and knocked me off, and i fell about 10ft to the ground because we were on a side of the mountain and i landed on my face and shoulder...

Anyways here are the pics

haha well that's pretty simple just make sure you don't get lost


Depending on the time of year you can do some camping, fishing, hunting. Go check out the sea life center, do a glacier tour etc...

I loved that part of Canada -- I stayed at Chateau Lake Louise when I went. The hotel over looked one of those mineral lakes.
