The best trestles in British Columbia

by Hannah Kacary British Colubmia

Since moving to British Columbia I’ve developed a bit of an obsession with trestles. I don’t even think I knew what they were before I moved to Canada. But now? Now if I know there’s a trestle in the area I’m desperate to go visit. The Myra Canyon trestles and the Ladner Creek trestle are some of the best trestles in BC but they’re not the only ones.

Ultimate guide to cycling the Myra Canyon Trestles in Kelowna

by Hannah Kacary Kelowna

When I moved to BC my obsession with trestles began. So far I've ticked off the Ladner Creek trestle and now the Myra Canyon trestles. I'd tried to visit these last November but the snow had already fallen and the road was closed so we had to postpone it. This summer I returned with some friends and we cycled the Myra Canyon bike trail before indulging at some of Kelowna's best wineries. If you're also ...

by Hannah Kacary The Okanagan

We've been to the Okanagan before but never done any wine tasting. That's strange since the Okanagan valley BC is famed for its wine. The best BC wines, and indeed some of the best Canadian wine, come from the Okanagan. This past Labour Day weekend we decided to go on a road trip with some friends to the Okanagan for some cycling and wine drinking. We based ourselves in Kelowna and so visited Kelowna vineyards ...

Where to camp in Banff, Jasper and Yoho National Parks

by Hannah Kacary Canadian Rockies

If there's one thing that I've learnt about camping in Canada, it's that you can't expect to rock up at a campsite in the summer and expect there to be a space. This is especially true when you try and camp in Banff, Jasper and Yoho National Parks in the summer. Securing a camping spot at Banff, Jasper and Yoho requires some advance planning. I used to be pretty good at this, but now I ...

The best things to do in Jasper National Park
