The Canadian Rocky Mountains are fantastic for climbing. Great ice climbing. Great mixed climbing. Great rock climbing, but the rock can be a little loose. Great ski mountaineering. Beautiful scenery.
It's Canada's 2nd official sport. We're hockey crazed Canadians, especially during the long winters when it's usually too cold to do anything else!If you're in the country anytime from October to April, you could catch an NHL game in Ottawa, Toronto, Calgary, Edmonton or Vancouver. However, you don't need to be in big cities to catch a game. All over the country, in all towns and cities, there are hockey games all the time...guaranteed!!
To me it looked like the water was a tad cold, but i sawa few brave people canoing on Lake Louise. It looked extremely peaceful hence i'm recommending it here.I felt at epace watching light impact canoes on the Glacial lake. I think you can hire the canoes over there, without much difficulty. Thanks to tourism!I'm not sure if they had helmuts, but with a lake as peaceful as Louise, I'm not sure if its even necessary.
There are many National Parcs in Canada and for a little money you can set up camp for the night. Just be aware of wildlife and come prepared! One day I hope to have the courage to go hiking myself!
"The Chief" is a gigantic granite monolith that overlooks Squamish BC., a little town North of Vancouver nestled at the mouth of the Squamish River in Howe Sound. The town has mostly served as a based of operations for logging companies and Howe sound is evidence to this as it is filled with tree logs tied together to form barges. But these days it seems adventure sports are fueling the local economy more and more.So, back to the hiking the Chief. If you're a rock climber, you're route is simply straight up the nearly vertical granite face that has made the mountain an international superstar. But if you prefer a less dangerous way, there are a few roundtrip hiking trails that led you up the backside of the Chief to its summit, sort of like sneaking up on it. Depending on which route you pick, you're hike to the summit can be a healthy 4 to 7 kilometers. Once on top, the view of Howe...
