From our new base camp called Lodgepole Campground in Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park we find ourselves waking up to two deer roaming the campground. Our new neighbours stare us down and then continue munching on some greenery - giving us…

You start off a day with a plan for researching. The night before you plan your routes so you are not going around in circles while you research and document attractions and activities.
The next day I set out with my camera, a video and…

Still camped out at Horseshoe Lake in Cranbrook BC (a.k.a Cranbrook Island) . The weather has been playing tricks with us. First we had a long spell there for awhile where we enjoyed some scorching heat and then another round of high winds.…

Wildlife and nature are two of my favorite photo moments. Unfortunately wildlife never wants to stay still. The Nakusp-Kaslo Hwy 31a is one of the most under rated tourism sightseeing drives in the Kootenays. It is full of scenery and opportunities…
Located east of Nakusp is a little recreation site on the shores of Box Lake. Here we decided to set up camp for a night. The location is private and is one of the self maintained campgrounds known in BC as a forestry recreation site. Not…

The highway drive from Kaslo following the Kaslo River did not let us down. The mountain ranges were covered in a blanket of snow, alpine lakes still half frozen. It was a postcard moment!
We arrived in Nakusp early so we decided to take…
