 General Stampede Crowd by jamiesno
Unlike in Spanish culture, here in Western Canada they try to ride the bull as apposed to killing it, LOL. I wouldn't consider this eco-tourism however!
I remember going to the Stampede one summer and it was very hot, tonnes of great food, lots of activities and a dog show of all things at the Calgary Saddledome which was interesting.
It's funny but if your not a cowboy I don't know if I recommend you try to look like one or act like one. It was obvious walking around who was a genuine cowboy and who stuck out like a sore thumb with their brand new cowboy hat on, tight jeans and flashy cowboy boots. It looks hideous I thought, hehehe.
In any event this truly is a world class event and very indicitive of western Canada and prairie culture. Ranching is big industry and if this is your think, this is your region of Canada!!
Unfortunatly I wasn't into VT at this time so I don't have any of my own pictures to share here, bummer! Leave a Comment

 Mount Logan by jamiesno
Logan is one of the most massive mountains in the world. Its many cliff faces, well over 10,000 feet, rise to an immense ten-mile summit crest of high peaks and saddles. The summit crest spills giant heavily crevassed glaciers for miles over the surrounding valleys.
I have only seen the peak from Haines Junction in the Kluane National Park. I challenge you to see the rest of Canada from its peak!
Happy climbing :-)
I provided a link to my Whitehorse page since its the closest airport! Leave a Comment

The 282-foot (86-meter) tall retractable roof covers eight acres (three hectares) of playing field and seating. It consists of four gigantic roof panels mounted on rails that can be moved to open or close the roof. It takes 20 minutes to open or close the roof.
In addition to baseball and football, the 52,000-seat Rogers Centre is also used for concerts and other special events. Leave a Comment Theme: Sports WatchingDirections: The Rogers Centre is located at One Blue Jays Way, right next to the CN Tower in downtown Toronto.

The 19,000-seat arena boasts a state-of-the-art Bose sound system, four Sony Jumbotrons, and more than 640 television screens throughout the building. Leave a Comment Theme: Sports WatchingDirections: The Air Canada Centre is located at 40 Bay Street, just to the east of the CN Tower and south of downtown Toronto.

The 56,000-seat stadium was designed by Paris architect Roger Taillibert. One of its more innovative features is the 575-foot (175-meter) Montreal Tower, the world's tallest inclined tower. It overhangs the stadium and supports its fabric roof by a series of cables which attach to the underside of the tower.
Now that baseball is no longer played in the stadium, it presumably will only host concerts by international stars, as well as big exhibitions. Leave a Comment Theme: Sports WatchingDirections: The Olympic Stadium is located at 4549 Pierre-de-Coubertin Avenue, and is part of the Parc Olympique complex of sporting venues and parks, several miles east of downtown Montreal.

 DELICIOUS HOT CHOCOLOTE BREAK
TIME!;) by RafaelTheSecond
And the french canadians are crazy!;) But thanks to that madness I had one of the most glorious moments in my life!
And after some kilometers exploring the beautiful region of La Belle, we stopped in this lovely bar in La Conception for my sacred hot chocolate!
You need a real good snowmobile, in that case, a motoneige, hahahah :) A cool and crazy instructor, if I am not mistaken his name is Claude, very easy to find him, in La belle there is the old train station, his crew is there! :))))))

In the summer months you can go water rafting in many locations around the Rockies areas. Particularly along the Thompson River which runs all the way through the Rockies Leave a Comment Theme: Rafting
