Wow.

We arrived in Jasper, Alberta, before shops in this mountain town opened. That means I didn’t get to taste a beaver tail. Sadly, the bakery was closed. Jasper is the commercial center of #JasperNationalPark, with its snow-covered glacier-fed lakes, forests and rivers. #trains #TheCanadian #canada

Wow.

Rolling across the prairie in the province of Saskatchewan — by fields of brown-red-yellow wheat, scattered farms, grain silos, and under a pastel-colored sky. Everyday is different on #TheCanadian. Next stop is Saskatoon. I can’t get the Guess Who out of my head. #trains #VIARail #canada #adventure

I bought my sleeper plus cabin for 1 in November during VIA Rail’s flash sale for about $1,200 (40% off), it includes fabulous food — three meals a day cooked fresh by the train’s chef. They also have berths, (great option) for about half that price, and cabins for 2 and Prestige. www.viarail.ca/en

Day 2 — Our train ride to Winnipeg on #TheCanadian, with a stop in cold and snowy Sioux Lookout. It’s one of the World’s great rail adventures, stretching 2,740 miles from Toronto to Vancouver.

Beautiful!

Riding the #CanadianRockies in a snowstorm, just outside of Jaspar, Alberta. On our way to Vancouver by way of Yellowhead Pass, which lies inside #JasperNationalPark and #MountRobson Provincial Park. Magic. #trains #TheCanadian #travel #nationalparks #canada

There’s nothing quite as grand as riding #TheCanadian at Christmas time. It’s one of the world’s great rail adventures, five-days and 2,775 miles across Canada, Toronto to Vancouver. #trains #VIARail #travel #adventures

🌌 Anyone tired of Yosemite aurora photos yet?

This photo is one of several images I captured of Yosemite's spectacular auroral display during October's solar event.

Wow.

#TheCanadian in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, from my December 2023 trip on the transcontinental train by #VIARail. Traversing the Canadian Rockies was certainly the most dramatic part of the five-day 2,775 trip, but racing across the prairies of Saskatchewan was stunning, just stunning. #trains #travel

Agreed. It’s hard for me to wrap my mind around this: that these magnificent giants have seen all of human history but now are threatened because humans have made the Earth too hot for them.

At 3,590 feet tall, El Capitan is a bucket list destination for rock climbers from around the world. Most stay in the nearby Camp 4, on the National Register of Historic Places for its role in rock climbing history, where they pitch tents and share strategies. #nationalparks #yosemite #travel

Yosemite Views, Glacier Point: The first, a sunset over Glacier Point with an ever-so-small slice of moon, was what we saw every night looking up from the #YosemiteValleyLodge, and the second was what we saw when we stood on Glacier Point looking down on the Valley. #nationalparks #hiking #travel

Walking among giants: A fire two-plus years ago damaged some of the magnificent Sequoia trees — some hundreds of feet tall and dating back to before Christ — but people here say climate change is more of a threat to the ancient trees. #nationalparks #yosemite #mariposagrove #hiking

Nice!

Yes! ⬇️

Absolutely!

It’s one of the world’s great rail adventures — 2,740 miles across Canada, Toronto to Vancouver. And part of what makes riding #TheCanadian so grand is the food. Everything is made fresh daily by the train’s chef. And nothing is served twice. Passengers share meals — and stories. #trains #travel

My home town lookin’ good.

Yikes.

Wow.

Today’s hike in the #clevelandmetroparks. Beautiful! How — and where — was your hike today? #nationalparks #hiking #trails #southchagrinreservation #henrychurchrock

The perfect place to get lost in Nature: They’re not part of our #nationalparks but, for me, they are just as wonderful. The #clevelandmetroparks offer more than 25,000 acres and 325 miles of trails. My go-to place. Today, a waterfall and fly fisherman in the #southchagrinreservation #hiking #trails

Shadows play: Hiking Bell Rock in Sedona, Arizona. It’s not among our #nationalparks but the area’s history, rock formations and #hiking make it a bucket-list trip for sure. 6.6.2022 #bellrock #sedona #travel

Yeah, mine too!

Thanks.
