In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks ~John Muir.

All who know me know how much I love being in the mountains. It’s no surprise that upon receiving a “Save the Date” for my cousin Matt’s wedding in Alberta, I pretty much squealed in excitement! Any excuse to get out west is a great one, in my opinion, and a wedding between two wonderful people is at the top of the list. Not to mention the fact that I so rarely see my Mom’s side of the family, and she herself had never seen the Rockies in Summer!

From the incredible views at Moraine Lake and Lake Louise, to discovering a hidden section of Johnston Canyon that I had only ever seen in photos, cycling the great Legacy Trail between Canmore and Banff with the family, and sharing in Matt & Charlotte’s big day, this trip was incredible.

Charlotte and Matt, thank you so much for the opportunity to visit and share your incredible wedding! (Check out some photos from their sweet photographer here)

At this point, I don’t have my next plane ticket bought to visit Alberta or BC, but I’m sure it’ll happen soon. Here are a few of my favourites from the trip.

Until next time, Rockies…
