2014 Livin' The Dream in Canada

I used to think Canada was just America's hat, but I now know better. After spending six days in Banff and Jasper, I've become a huge fan of our neighbor to the north, especially Western Canada. Here are some excellent things to do if you decide to go to Banff and Jasper. I highly recommend both, although a lot of the trails in Banff were still snowy the last week of May because winter lingered a little longer than typical. Visit the Banff Gondola at the top of Sulphur Mountain. The views are spectacular. It was one of the first things I did after getting into town. You can see countless amazing mountains and have a bird's eye view of the town of Banff.
