We’re Cameron and Natasha

We have been writing about travel for the last decade, and when we traveled to Western Canada in 2017, we found one of the world’s most beautiful places: The Canadian Rockies.

We searched hard and eventually realized we couldn’t find a better place to settle down than the stunning mountain range.

Now, we spend as much time exploring the mountains surrounding us as possible. Whether biking and hiking in the summer or snowboarding and cross-country skiing in the winter, we are obsessed with exploring these mountains and want to make it easier for you to explore.

Western Canada is the perfect place for an outdoor vacation, and our main goal is to help you get the most out of your trip to the region. On this website, you’ll find plenty of things to do, hiking suggestions, restaurant recommendations, important information, and example itineraries to help you plan a trip easily.
