Banff and Jasper are old friends. I've spent time in this part of my country, and it is a gloriously beautiful place!

The only place that I have been to in Canada is Whistler, and that was pretty amazing, so I can see why you loved it! xx

I've only been to Canada once--we were in Detroit and decided to go across the border briefly. I don't even know what part of Canada we were in...but we didn't stay long. Just drove around a little and went right back to Detroit. I do want to go to Niagara Falls someday.

No, I've been to eastern Canada but not the Rockies. Spent a little time in the Rockies in the US.

We both shared such a love for travel & photography. You will be missed. Rest In Peace, great "CameraGirl", RIP! ( : Where do we even start?, I continued to say to my hubby throughout our trip to Washington, Oregon, northern CA back in August 2015, that I wondered how I could take a picture of the whole tall tree? The trees in in the eastern US are huge, but the trees out west are gigantic, massive, huge!! There are .... THEY ARE! ...how do I even begin to show a picture of these awesome trees? I don't own a fancy camera just a normal point and shoot. How do I express to you the magnitude of how tall these massive trees are? they are huge!!! & will you...
