Another gem we stumbled upon was Lake Louise, known for its majestic glacier-fed lake. The vibrant blue hues and the dramatic Victoria Glacier overlooking the lake left us speechless. We spent hours capturing the ever-changing colors of the lake as the sun moved across the sky, producing images that reflected the sheer magnificence of nature.

Unforgettable Sunsets and Sunrises

One of the perks of road tripping through the Canadian Rockies is witnessing the spectacular sunsets and sunrises. We made it a point to wake up early and catch the first light of dawn painting the mountains with soft pastel hues. The tranquil atmosphere and the ethereal beauty of the landscape created a surreal experience that words fail to describe.

As the day drew to a close, we found ourselves chasing the golden hour. The setting sun painted the sky in vibrant oranges and pinks, casting a warm glow over the mountains. The sheer serenity of these moments made us forget about the world as we tried to encapsulate the magic in our photographs.

Hidden Gems and Natural Wonders

While the Canadian Rocky Mountains are home to well-known attractions, we also discovered many hidden gems along the way. A short hike brought us to Johnston Canyon, where we witnessed the mesmerizing power of waterfalls cascading through narrow canyons. The sound of rushing water and the refreshing mist that touched our faces made this experience truly unforgettable.

We also stumbled upon the serene Peyto Lake, known for its vibrant turquoise color. Elevated viewpoints allowed us to capture the surreal beauty of this hidden gem, creating memories that will last a lifetime.

Wildlife Encounters

The Canadian Rockies are teeming with wildlife, and it's not uncommon to encounter some of the magnificent creatures that call this region home. From elk and bighorn sheep to black bears and bald eagles, the encounters with these incredible animals were a constant reminder of the importance of preserving their natural habitats.

Although photographing wildlife required patience and a bit of luck, the thrill of capturing a majestic elk in its natural habitat or a black bear foraging by the roadside was truly exhilarating. These encounters allowed us to connect with nature on a deeper level and gave us a newfound appreciation for the delicate balance of the ecosystem.

The Canadian Rockies is a mountain range in Canada that spans British Columbia and Alberta and includes snow-capped mountains, alpine lakes, rivers, waterfalls, glaciers and a number of National Parks such as Banff, Jasper, and Yoho. It offers stunning scenery and huge tracts of wilderness to explore.

In September 2019 we did a circular road trip around the Canadian Rocky Mountains starting and finishing at Calgary covering a total of around 2,000 km in 14 days. The trip was planned to cover all the key points of interest in each location with accommodation arranged accordingly. Given the remoteness of this region and the limited (and somewhat pricey) accommodation it was a logistical problem to juggle all these issue to come up with a final itinerary.

This circular trip around the Rockies provided a great insight into this incredible wilderness area of outstanding scenery with stunning mountains, waterfalls, rivers, lakes, forests, glaciers and all the associated wildlife. The national parks were outstanding and very well organised with well marked trails for some fabulous walks and knowledgeable rangers to assist you.

This book should hopefully provide some great introductory material for anyone considering a tour of the Canadian Rocky Mountains to help in planning your trip. The photos should offer some great insight into what to expect and perhaps give you the inspiration to visit this outstanding wilderness area.

This book includes photographs, videos and route maps.
