RV’22.12 Battleford, Brandon, and Winnipeg

June 26, 2022

My travelogue of our RV vacation is coming to a close. In this last post, I’ll take you on our return drive through the prairies. Because of some scheduling changes, we ended up canceling visits to two other national parks, but our new route cut diagonally right through Saskatchewan. It took only a very small … More RV’22.12 Battleford, Brandon, and Winnipeg

RV’22.11: Qiviut Inc.

June 22, 2022

Our second full day camping at Elk Island was the one day we went out on some excursions in Edmonton. (It’s also the day we began by shearing the awning off the RV, but that’s another story, which I don’t intend to relive ever again.) We visited my friend Kelly, met her husband and held … More RV’22.11: Qiviut Inc.

RV’22.10 Elk Island

June 21, 2022

Driving east, away from the Rockies, our next stop was Elk Island National Park just outside of Edmonton. We did not see any elk at Elk Island. But we did see lots of bison. Elk Island NP is home to one of the most successful bison herds still in North America. There are both wood … More RV’22.10 Elk Island

RV’22.9 Jasper with Nature

June 19, 2022

As you saw in yesterday’s post, we had lots of little outings in Jasper. But that took up a relatively small amount of our time in the biggest park of the Canadian Rockies. Most of our time in Jasper was about spending time doing ordinary things against an extraordinary backdrop. Going to the playground with … More RV’22.9 Jasper with Nature

RV’22.8: Jasper with Friends

June 18, 2022

By the time we got to Jasper, we were ready for a change of pace. We received it in the form of getting together for the long weekend with some friends. Rachel, Mike, and their kids J and N made the 12-hour drive from their home to meet us in Jasper. When we met for … More RV’22.8: Jasper with Friends

RV’22.7 Banff and the Icefields

June 14, 2022

On our last full day in Banff National Park, we tried one last time to climb a mountain. After our frustrations on Sulphur Mountain, we reassessed and dialed way back. This is Tunnel Mountain, the lowest feature in the Rockies to be called a mountain. We didn’t even start at the bottom, but parked at … More RV’22.7 Banff and the Icefields

RV’22.6: Banff, History, and Surroundings

June 14, 2022

On our second day in Banff, we toured our first National Historic Site. National Historic Sites are also administrated by Parks Canada, but as the name implies, they are about preserving history rather than conserving nature. It just so happened that our first NHS was the birthplace of National Parks in Canada: the Cave and … More RV’22.6: Banff, History, and Surroundings

RV’22.4 Dinosaur Provincial Park

June 11, 2022

We spent two nights in the town of Drumheller, home to the Royal Tyrrell Museum. Then, having filled our heads with knowledge, we headed to another spot in the Red Deer River valley, this time to where most of the dinosaur fossils are actually found. Along the way, we stopped at this amazing display of … More RV’22.4 Dinosaur Provincial Park

RV’22.5: Banff and the Rockies

June 11, 2022

We were just out Calgary when we first spotted the Rocky Mountains on the horizon. Watching them approach took hours. Finally, we arrived in Banff. Banff National Park was the first national park in Canada, and the town was the first town incorporated within a national park in Canada. It’s also the most visited national … More RV’22.5: Banff and the Rockies

RV’22.3: Drumheller is Dinotown

June 10, 2022

We drove through the rest of mostly-flat Saskatchewan, broken up by things like “The World’s Largest Teepee.” At other points on this trip, we saw the world’s largest dragonfly, the world’s largest dinosaur, and we narrowly missed missed the world’s largest Pysanka. But as soon as you arrive in Drumheller, Alberta, the flat goes away. … More RV’22.3: Drumheller is Dinotown
