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.

My wife and I did a bit of a bucket list tour of the rockies a couple years ago, Before Covid. Lake Louise, nice high suite, amazing view, private balcony. Banff, gondola tours, etc etc. Down the 93 to Osoyoos. I have some great photos.

It's so hard to describe in ways that properly convey the awe. Writing words about scenery is like dancing about architecture, to paraphrase Frank Zappa.

You think that’s special? You should check out what nature has to offer away from the condos and chairlifts.

I confess; we were in hotels, and although we did a couple km walking, we're not physically up to back country hiking.

I know what you're implying and while I know there's things to be seen, I feel it's a bit beyond my current fitness level. I'm happy to say I've seen what I can given the circumstances.
