Beautiful and unspoilt - is this part of Canada as big as it looks? Do the city folks come here to get back to nature ? Looks like camping heaven - but does it have any wildlife that likes human blood? Could it be too good to be true ? Great pix - worthy of a Gumbo Calendar Dr.Y !!

Hi GarryRF, Yes, this part of the world includes vaste stretches of wilderness. Lots and lots of unspoiled mountains, valleys, forests, rivers and lakes. It is only an hour's drive from west Calgary, so lots of those of us who live here spend our weekends in the Rockies. Much like those in Denver. Camping is wonderful in the summertime, as the weather is mild and the days very long. It's also great to hike here at that time. Camping in the winter is only for the brave of heart. You need to...

Great views, and especially the pictures where the lines of color so clearly mark the changes in altitude and what is growing there...

My Wife - she who must be obeyed - loves a single Kayak and the open sea. So I presume this would be on a lake. Much safer I think. Sounds like you have the perfect location for a wilderness family like ours ! When we camp in summer you'd mistake some of the tents for aircraft hangers. But the kids and babies come too. Canoes and Fishing rods. Wet suits and waders. We go to Shell Island in Wales - but only when the tides out. Need to plan your journey ahead. They only have Grizzly Sheep.

Garry, I hope that's not your car in the drink....

The road was clearly marked CLOSED If it was my own act of stupidity then I would keep it a secret. Why some folks with 4x4 cars think they can beat the laws of physics I don't know. But thanks for the concern. No one was hurt I believe.

Please tell me you have more ! I've wanted to see, but now never will, the landscape that Peter Matthiessen and George Schaller trekked through to reach Dolpo in 'the snow leopard' 😍

Terrific photo of a place few of us will ever get to! Thanks for sharing this.

Echoing DrFumblefinger's comment: until I saw your picture, and did some research, I never knew this remote area of Nepal existed!

I remember being in Wales several times and looking across the sea to the west, thinking that I needed to get to Ireland.  Well I finally made it, completing this journey with my brother on our annual "getaway trip"!  It was a trip we really...

  Fall is a special time of year in the mountains.  While the colors in the Canadian Rockies are not as varied as in eastern North America, it's still very lovely.  Here is some beautiful mountain lake scenery and a surprise...

PortMoresby begins her geothermal education with a walk around Yellowstone’s Upper Geyser Basin.

This is the time of year when those of us who love to hike have our eyes gazing to the tops of the mountains, longing to get up to those high passes.  But there's still a lot of snow and ice up there, at least in Western Canada and the Pacific...

One of the greatest hikes in North America is through the Upper Geyser basin on a nice summer day! Thanks for showing us why.

Well, maybe suggesting rather than showing. Landscape photography is a skill I haven't cultivated but, the fact remains, a remarkable bit of real estate.

DrFumblefinger enjoys the scenery at Upper Trail Lake, Alaska.

Jonathan L gives us an extended exposure of the Upper Falls at Tremane State Park, near Ithaca New York.

While in the Ann Arbor area, Samantha and her husband made a quick stop to see a small section of the University of Michigan Ann Arbor campus.

As Jonathan L shows, the old fire houses in New York blend in to their surroundings

The Mackinaw Bridge is currently the fifth-longest suspension bridge in the world and the longest bridge in the western hemisphere. Samantha shares her visit and some facts.

DrFumblefinger visits the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, a spectacular and colorful canyon almost twenty miles long and nearly a mile wide.

The Whitefish Point area, known as Lake Superior’s Shipwreck Coast, has more than 200 shipwrecks lying nearby. Samantha shares some pictures from her visit.
