The Best Seafood on the Canadian West Coast

Oh hey! I'm Sherri!

Welcome to my little place online where my two passions of travel and photography have come together. Nothing is more satisfying than visiting places in person that I’ve only seen in history books!

If you know anything about Western Canada you know we struggle every summer with wildfires. Recently Jasper was affected by the Chetamon wildfire and the whole town was without power. Tourists were asked not to visit until the power was restored. I can say… it’s back on and the fire damage was minimal thanks to the hard work of the firefighting teams!! It’s time to visit Jasper again and admire the autumn colours before the snow falls…who’s with me?

Here’s a teaser of what’s coming on my blog…

We drove through all kinds of weather on the prairies of Alberta to get to Waterton Lakes National Park and the Rocky Mountains.

A great place to stay right downtown, is the Bayshore Inn & Spa — the only hotel right on the water. I watched an amazing light show over the lake from my balcony (sheet lightning). Lakeside Chophouse & Wine Bar, next to the hotel, serves amazing meals and I couldn’t resist the Brussels sprouts!

From my hotel suite I witnessed a storm in the middle of the night only to have perfect weather the next morning for our lake tour with Waterton Shoreline Cruises. I enjoyed the cruise and crossing into the USA by water (no passport needed). Our boat guides were exceptional with knowledge of the area and educated and entertained us during the cruise. This is a great way to get out on the lake!

A visit to Prince of Wales Hotel did not disappoint. Perched on a hill overlooking Waterton Lake, the view was magnificent while we enjoyed afternoon tea.

In a corner of Waterton townsite, there’s a beautiful waterfall… Cameron Falls. There’s lots of parking and it is an easy walk to the base of the falls from the parking lot.

Before leaving the Park we wanted to see us some bison!! The best place to see bison is on the Bison Paddock Loop Road. You can drive the road and see plains bison in their natural habitat. We also explored Red Rock Canyon and visited Cameron Falls within walking distance from the townsite,

We didn’t have time on this visit to explore the hiking trails or rent a canoe or kayak… this means we will have to visit again!

Have you been? What’s your favourite thing to do in Waterton?

Exploring Heritage Park in Calgary

I was excited to visit Heritage Park in Calgary on an Alberta road trip.

We spent half a day in the 127-acre living history park and I can easily say that it would take two or three days to explore and enjoy the whole park.

We decide to start at Innovation Crossing then working our way around the Park from there. At Prospect Ridge we learned about coal mining from well-informed staff completely in character for their roles!

In the Settlement we explored a replica of Hudson’s Bay Company’s Fur Trading Fort, went inside the teepees, and chatted with the Indigenous women making blankets, bags, and other wonderful crafts.

A great way to see an overview of Heritage Park is to ride the steam train! You can hop on and off as you choose.

In the Village Centre throughout the day we saw live theatre, and of course ended our visit with a delicious meal at Selkirk Restaurant.

We didn’t get a chance to visit the antique midway or ride the SS Moyie paddlewheeler, and more… I guess this means we’re due for another visit to Heritage Park in the future! Who’s with me?

Alberta Roadtrip: Chasing Dinosaurs

Did you know that Drumheller, Alberta is the Dinosaur Capital of the World? Everywhere you turn there are dinosaurs, dinosaurs, and more dinosaurs. Visit Tyra, the “World’s Largest Dinosaur” where you can climb up into her mouth, and discover the many statues throughout Dinosaur Valley! A visit to Royal Tyrell Museum will give you the opportunity to experience fossils, exhibits, interactive programs, and learn from the experts as it is Canada’s only museum dedicated exclusively to the science of palaeontology.

Dinosaur Provincial Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and most of the park is a natural preserve. Make sure to take an interpretive tour and getting the most out of your visit. Just wandering around the Alberta Badlands takes you back millions of years! We went on the 2-hour Bonebed Express tour and were able to see dinosaur bones found during excavations, and discover bones ourselves, scattered all over the ground.

Just off Highway 9 west of Drumheller, Horseshoe Canyon is a must stop on a road trip! It’s a u-shaped canyon with walking trails and beautiful layered canyon walls. There are viewing platforms near the parking lot where you can see almost forever!

Have you visited this area of Alberta?

We spent a few hours at Telus Spark Science Centre and it wasn’t long enough! There’s so much to see, do, and learn! Some highlights for me were the Indigenous Interpretive Centre where , a virtual reality adventure, SuperDogs show, and the newest digital experience Quantum Sandbox. From their website: “Within a gallery filled with floor to ceiling images, the land of parallel universes comes alive. Immerse yourself in a state of flux, a quantum state that has intriguing connections to local Indigenous world views. Quantum Sandbox might just change your view of the world … or at least open things up. And the best part is, there is no test!”

We had to complete our visit with a stop at the Astronaut Ice Cream Café!! The black cone is Mercury and the blue one is Neptune… delish!!!!
