OBJECTIVES OF SITE
|
|
REQUIRES NO NATIONAL PARK PASS AND FROM CALGARY IS MAXIMUM 120 KM TO MOST LOCATIONS.
THIS MEANS YOU CAN SAVE MONEY! (ESPECIALLY IF YOU PACK A LUNCH.)
A map is also a must for you to find your way around the many locations described on my site.
You can download maps through the internet as long as you tell the search engine the park, the province, and the town or city that the location is near by.
CLOSING THE DEAL
CONVINCING YOUR FAMILY TO GO FOR A SHORT HIKE IN THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS:
Through my photoadventures site show the family what is at the end of the hike. Every site I have chosen has a lake, river, tree, or glacial rock formation.
Tell them that some of the locations are less than an hour's drive away. Explain to your family that with a little walking, an adventure awaits them.
As your family gets more used to getting in the car on the weekend, they will have more fun with walking, playing beside creeks or discovering certain plants and animals during the different seasons.
To give your family an added incentive to leave Calgary go occasional to a restaurant for lunch or dinner in Canmore, Banff, or an other small center. Perhaps you might choose an overnight stay during off season months.
The last step will involve your own research to discover new adventures for your family either on your own or with the help of the following hiking books.

The Best hikes in the Rockies do not necessarily mean that a beautiful stream, a spectacular waterfall or animal life is at the end of the walk
I was able to shoot this Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep on Dec 14/2002 in Kananskis Country.
Please take the time to look at the site below and see what the Provincial Government is planning to do with this area.
