Today we were up early for our road trip to Silver Star Mountain in Vernon in the Okanagan Valley. Have not been boarding on Silver Star for a while now. So this was exciting. Just getting outside is a rush especially since we like winter.

The snow is falling. The snow is falling.

It feels good to be under a roof again, temporarily anyway. I am sure in a couple months, we will be itching to hit the road again to explore our next adventures in Alberta and Saskatchewan and, as always, it will be hard to wait till May…

Moved our base camp from Kamloops to Winfield where there is a wilderness campground at Beaver Lake. It is hard to access and the road is rough but the campground is on a beautiful lake. There are many other lakes in the area also. Some of which…

Here at Heffley Lake in Kamloops is a hiking trail located across the road from the campground. The trail explores up a mountain and is named the Embelton Trail. Since we have been here in Kamloops I have had my eye on it and today was the…

The parks of Alberta and British Columbia were beautiful but we were coming back in the new year 2009 to research when we have more time. Right now we want to set up a base camp near Kamloops so we could slow down from our trip, do some fishing…

Back in our home province of British Columbia. One of the first major stops when entering BC from Jasper, Alberta is the Park Information HQ and the Berg Lake Trail in the Mt. Robson Provincial Park.
The information centre has a gift…
Feeling refreshed, we headed to Jasper Alta so Bro could visit with some old friends from his tourism hospitality days.
Jasper is still Jasper. Many tourists, lots of locals on bikes, lots of people walking around and many looming mountain…

Our first research trip into Alberta. It sends some chills up my back. And at the same time it is a bit daunting at the work ahead. It will be our second province in Canada, plus the two territories, to go online on our CanadaEH.net…

The Alberta / NWT Border entrance is head and shoulders above the BC / NWT Border.
It was not long ago we were exploring along gravel highways with ruts, pot holes and mud flying while on the Liard Hwy entering NWT from BC.
The border…
When in the Twin Falls Gorge Park south of Hay River you have to visit both waterfalls. And from the Alexandra Falls viewpoint there is a boardwalk trail connecting to another waterfall - Louise Falls.
It is our favorite of all the waterfalls…

Spent some time in the small community of Hay River. Did what we needed to do for research and now we are heading to the Alberta and NWT border. The journey continues for the tourism road warriors.

Got to check out a few of the waterfalls on the way to Hay River on the Waterfall Hwy. Well worth the time but it did make our arrival to Hay River a late one. Or an early one depending on how you look at it. Simply put, we arrived at around…

When you hear about the Northwest Territories you think of many things like the Canadian Shield, Waterfalls , Slave Lake, Wildlife and the community of Yellowknife. We want to research them all.
Our stay in Yellowknife was well worth…
Hello Yellowknife, NWT!
So we settled into our campground in NWT. It is clean, central and yet far enough away from the city. But the first thing on our minds when we arrived and at the top of our wish list at the time was a shower.

In the NWT there are big distances between many of the communities. Communities connected by a very simple, paved and gravel, network of roads. Allot of that road ends up on our jeeps and campers in the form of mud.
From Fort Simpson, we…

Some would say it was a rough welcome into the Northwest Territories. We would say it is just part of the growing process and another adventure in a series of adventures to come.
The Liard Highway is the BC entrance into the NWT. This…

The Laird Hot Springs is still fresh in our minds as we continue touring the Alaska Highway until we turn north and start our adventure into the Northwest Territories. The research adventure that keeps on ticking!
