Western Canada - May 17 to 27, 2024
Cascade Mountain from the middle of Banff Avenue To kick off the grand Great Canadian Tour 2024, Meilin and Hendrik flew from Germany to Edmonton, where Klaus' brother and two nieces live. The following day, Klaus and I drove to Edmonton to begin the Western Canada segment of our journey. Here's where we visited and some of my most favourite photos. Edmonton Jasper Icefields Parkway Banff Port Moody, Squamish & Vancouver Ucluelet, Tofino & Victoria Edmonton Klaus and I started out at 4:00 am to make the 12-hour drive to Edmonton. We were surprised to encounter quite a bit of snow along the Coquihalla summit and hoped this was not foreshadowing for things to come. Thankfully the skies cleared up as we went along and the views were absolutely stunning! It was cool to encounter this herd of Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep. Did you know they are the largest wild sheep in North America? Muscular males can weigh over 300 pounds and stand over three feet...
