This was Wasootch Ridge in Alberta's Kananaskis Country yesterday. What a bluebird day. Don't forget microspikes & poles. hikebiketravel.com/wasootch-rid...

This says it all.

For the US to side with Russia and North Korea to oppose a UN resolution condemning the illegal invasion of Ukraine defies all common sense and adds insult to the countless injuries suffered by the brave Ukrainian people. edition.cnn.com/2025/02/24/p...

So much snow in the Collingwood, ON area that the #snowshoeing at Scenic Caves Nature Adventures is fantastic #outdoors #naturelover #winter

Really enjoyed today's winter hike in deep snow in Mono Cliffs Prov Park, Ontario. Many km of breaking trail required. #winter #hiking #snowy #ontarioparks

Good advice ⬇️

Winter is a perfect time for a road trip to SW Alberta. Places to include on a visit include Waterton Lakes NP, the Crowsnest Pass area & Castle Mountain Resort hikebiketravel.com/winter-road-... #roadtrip #Alberta #winter #getoutside

A dose of fresh & nature is a balm for the soul especially when you've got the ski trails all to yourself up at Bull Mountain near Williams Lake, BC. #nature #crosscountryskiing #outdoors #britishcolumbia

The monarch is the only butterfly known to make a two-way migration as birds do. 🦋🌍 Monarchs use a combination of air currents and thermals to travel long distances. They can travel between 50-100 miles a day; it can take up to two months to complete their journey.

Great idea.

One day.

Spent a couple of weeks in Sao Tome & Principe in the summer (where?) Two beautiful tropical islands off the coast of Africa with the equator running through the bottom. Originally colonised by the Portuguese. Nobody goes there, it's great. #travel #Africa donotgogentlytravel.com/10-best-thin...

One of the best places in the US for hiking in my opinion - the area around Kanab, Utah. So many options and over the top scenery. hikebiketravel.com/best-hikes-n... #hiking #dayhikes #Kanab #Utah #adventureawaits

If you ever make it to Key West I highly recommend a day trip to Dry Tortugas National Park. It's a fun place to visit - interesting history & great snorkeling. hikebiketravel.com/dry-tortugas... #travel #FindYourPark #DryTortugas

In 1996, Utrecht NL transformed a 6-lane car street thru the heart of the city into a car-free street that easily carries 40k people on bikes a day plus a LOT of public transit riders —far more people now than ever moved on it in cars. And with so much less pollution/emissions, noise & public cost.

If you're driving through Yoho National Park in BC in winter I highly recommend the winter hike or snowshoe to Wapta Falls. The crux is finding the TH as it's inly marked driving east hikebiketravel.com/wapta-falls-... #winter #travel #snowshoeing #winterhikes #nationalparks

Haven't done the Iceline in a while. Also love the large loop hike that includes Laughing and Twin Falls.
