As the weather forecast changed to unstable conditions and rain, we thought it was time for a resting day. Well…We ended up in the climbing gym in Canmore. But it was fun to...

We used the still amazing weather on June 27th to do a big hike up Grotto Mountain. It was really strenuous because it goes up and down very steeply. But it was worth it! The...

Week 3 was a relaxed one. The last two foals were born healthy and without complications, so the young team is complete. Since we only had to breed one mare, we had plenty of...

Yesterday I continued on to Banff. I actually wanted to take the bus from Calgary to Banff, but a much better alternative came up. By chance, I found out that a friend from...

So it's time for another update. My flights went smoothly, although I had to hurry at London Heathrow as I had only one hour to transfer. To make matters worse, I had to unpack...

We were almost there, you could already see the glacier. But before that, we drove past the Glacier Skywalk. This was originally on our list of sights we wanted to visit....

Following the motto 'The journey is the destination', we continued our journey on the Icefields Parkway after visiting the impressive Athabasca Falls. Our next destination would...

As soon as we got on the Icefields Parkway, we spotted the first crowd of cars on the side of the road. By now, we knew very well what that meant: bear alert! And there it was,...

The day today started with a delicious breakfast, which was again provided to us by our hosts in this great accommodation. A good start to the day before we headed to the...

It was a wonderful first evening in Edmonton with sooooo nice people

After a wonderfully restful night, we didn't leave the camper quite as early today – after all, it’s vacation, not boot camp. 😴 First up was the classic camper breakfast: muesli...

After grabbing our breakfast at Tim Hortons again, we headed to Maligne Lake. On the way, we passed by Medicine Lake, where we were shocked by the rows of dead trees. After some...

Thanks to daylight saving time, the night is already over at 3 o'clock. Sunshine and bright blue sky accompany us through this warm day. We meet Karen at Sherwoodpark Alliance...

My route took me past the North Saskatchewan River. I had a great view from a higher vantage point. However, it was so cold that there were mostly small snow-covered ice floes...

I took a public bus to Banff in the morning, which took about 30 minutes. Unfortunately, I couldn't check into the hostel that early, but I was able to store my backpack there....
