West-Canada - A summer guide for Alberta and BC

Anna:One of the longer dayhikes in Jasper National Park. An experienced hiker will do this trail in 4-5 hours. Try to start your hikes in the morning, it will be less hot and completely deserted.

Anna:Very Touristy place but very worth it as well ;). Go early in the morning or late in the evening. It's a steep hike but a good hiker can do it in less then 2 hours. I was there at 5 pm, which was great, there were 5 other people and the light was awesome! If you don't have time to climb up to the 3th lake, no worries, the view at the 2nd is very alike.

Anna:Not so touristy hike for an experienced hiker who wants to climb a little bit (no gear needed). If you're motivated, try to wake up early and do the hike before the sun comes up! I left at 4pm if I remember well ;)

Anna:If you want an extreme hike, climbing up to Deeks like starting from the highway is a good choice! Start early because it's a hell of a steep one and 14km! Let's work the glutes!

Anna:A beautiful place with plenty of hikes and wildlife. It is less crowded than Banff (which I believe that was not so interesting, way to much tourists). Just driving through is already incredible! I saw 6 bears in the 3 days I was there. Try to visit all the areas, it's worth it! And if you're looking for some relaxation, the hot springs are a nice activity and not to expensive ;)

Anna:Very vibrant city! I took a bicicle trip around stanley park and let me guide by two wonderful local girls! If you're looking for normal food, go for sushi, it is very cheap over there :)

Anna:Do the hike in the morning and enjoy the nice hotsprings afterwards. The ideal combination! Interesting: have a look at the trees on the mountain, some of them are red. This is because of a disease. The only way to cure the forest is to cut the nearest healthy trees to avoid the spread.

Anna:Want to have some real Canadian culture? Go speedskating in the Olympic Oval next to the uni! Nb Calgary is a really modern city, not worth it to stay very long as a tourist, but fun! They even have covered running from one building to another above the streets because it gets -40°C in winter!
