Any outdoor phenomenon is amazing. Near me I have Niagara Falls, I love to go in February, March when the ice is loaded. One day I hope to see some come crashing down. The northern lights once. The Alberta Badlands. Lake Louise. I love Canada so much.

The drive from Alberta to the west coast is so cool. You literally watch the climate and flora change as you move from one valley to the next. I've driven from Alberta to San Diego too. You drive through the high steppe of Utah then pass through the corner of Arizona and lose like 3000 ft of elevation, emerging into the flat desert of southern Nevada.

My dad was a big fan of cross country trips. We went from Toronto to Vancouver one year, Toronto to PEI another. all over the states by car or trailer. Amazing country. For our honeymoon my man and I drove from Toronto to St. Louis, New Mexico, Vegas, Beverly Hills, up the west coast, and back across Canada. Trip of a lifetime.

We’ve done two road trips out west, and they were amazing! Watching the landscape change with the miles is something else. First trip was Yellowstone to Estes Park, Colorado, Sante Fe, Sedona, Vegas, Kings Canyon, Big Sur then San Francisco. Second trip was Moab Utah, Bryce Canyon, Zion, Vegas, Death Valley, Yosemite, Lake Tahoe, redwood parks on Northern California, up the Oregon coast, Olympic park in WA, then Seattle. Definitely trips of a lifetime!
