A couple were at Troll Falls the other day and encountered a bear but had no bear spray with them. Always carry bear spray when hiking in the mountains, even on well traveled trails like this one. No one was hurt, thankfully, but it could have been very different! #hike #phonephotography #hikers

Don’t Hike Tent Ridge Without Watching This First!
YouTube video by Rocky Mountain Trails Don’t Hike Tent Ridge Without Watching This First!

Hello everyone! I haven't been on here much as I have been editing my latest video. Tent Ridge is one of the most unforgettable ridge walks in Kananaskis Country that combines high-alpine exposure, hands-on scrambling, and panoramic summit views. Here's the link!

Hiking BTS - Twin Falls is an amazing waterfall in Yoho National Park, British Columbia, Canada. They are impressive from below but if you follow the trail to the top of the Falls, they are even more spectacular but be careful...the drop will kill you! #hike #hiking #hikingadventures #yoho

Valley of the Ten Peaks is a valley in Banff National Park in Alberta, Canada, which is crowned by ten notable peaks and also includes Moraine Lake. The valley can be reached by following the Moraine Lake road near Lake Louise. The ten peaks were originally named by Samuel Allen, an early explorer of the region, who simply referred to them by using the numerals from one to ten in the Stoney First Nations Language. He may have learned the terms from his Native American guides, who helped him with the horses. The Nakoda–also known as the Stoney Indians–is a tribe whose culture and dialect are closely related to that of the Assiniboine First Nation, from whom they are believed to have separated in the mid-1700s, and who roamed large parts of the prairies and mountains of western Alberta well into British Columbia. The secluded Valley of the Ten Peaks was part of their original homeland. Gradually, though, all but three of the mountains were renamed in honour of noteworthy individuals, including Allen himself.

I'm already getting ready to edit my next video and as usual, reliving the hike through pictures and video brings back so many memories! This is Lake Annette under smoky skies on the way to The Giant Steps in Paradise Valley, Banff National Park! #hike #hikers #hikingadventures #outdoors #hiking

In my last video, I mentioned the Celeste Lake Trail, why you should follow it and that it would be in an upcoming video. Well, here's the video that explains it all and shows off some pretty stunning scenery at the same time. I hope you like it! youtu.be/SRDdM7QUNEI?...

Thanks again Keith and if I may be so bold, may I suggest you give some of the other videos a look. The Onion and Jimmy Simpson have some amazing scenery that I'm sure you would enjoy from a photographer's perspective.

This must-do loop hike in Yoho National Park offers spectacular views of towering peaks, glaciers, and breathtaking waterfalls. Beginning near Takakkaw Falls, the trail climbs steeply onto a high alpine bench, where sweeping vistas of glacier-clad summits rise above the Yoho and Little Yoho Valleys. After traversing this dramatic landscape, the trail descends into the lush meadows of Little Yoho Valley, before returning to the trailhead via the Yoho Valley Trail, with opportunities to visit Laughing Falls, Point Lace Falls, Angel’s Staircase, and Takakkaw Falls along the way.  

Hikers can choose between an **out-and-back route** to the trail’s high point (**8.6 miles round-trip**) or complete the full **loop (13 miles round-trip)**. Both options are **strenuous**, featuring rugged terrain and unforgettable scenery. If time and energy allow, the **loop hike** is highly recommendedβ€”it not only showcases breathtaking **alpine landscapes** but also takes you through the **emerald-green meadows of Little Yoho Valley**, with the chance to explore some of the park’s most beautiful waterfalls.

Thank you so much Keith! I'm glad you enjoyed it as it took forever to edit it down to its final cut. I'm glad my teeth nashing at various times throughout the process paid off 🀣
It's a beautiful location but the glaciers are melting fast! 😒 I appreciate the repost as well πŸ‘Š

They burn it all down so they can install their sycophants into positions of power in order to control them and get them to affect change from within. Fascist playback 101
