Photoessay: Vancouver to Calgary Through The Canadian Rockies

April 21, 2019

I was lucky enough to have the great fortune to visit Canada and experience the Canadian Rockies this month! I’d only ever been to Quebec City and the surrounding area in Canada before. It was absolutely amazing. The scenery was just stunning, and I loved seeing and exploring all the mountains. A real highlight was the helicopter flight over the Rockies—definitely one of my top experiences of all time, right up there with my microlight over Victoria Falls! I wanted to share some of my photos from this incredible region before I write out all the blog posts. Here is my photoessay of my trip from Vancouver to Calgary through the Canadian Rockies!

So beautiful and so unreal!
This was definitely a bucket list experience and I’m so glad I got to experience it!

This trip was sponsored by the Rocky Mountaineer, and made possible through my job as a Tour Advisor—all opinions and photos remain my own.
