La petite Mont Tremblant village revealed
Mont Tremblant, Canada We enjoyed our Thanksgiving dinner at this French Mediterranean restaurant called La Petite Cachee. Loved it! To our surprise we woke up to the beautiful view of snow glistened mountains during our brief stay in Mont Tremblant. Our B&B needs its own post, and more on the village experience to come…
Montreal’s Bakeries and Coffee Shops

The Columbia Icefields Parkway to Jasper National Park

The Columbia Icefields Parkway was filled with the most breathtaking sights from pristine mountain lakes to ancient glaciers and infinite flora and fauna. I would have to say that this unique 180 mile stretch from Banff National Park to Jasper National Park is essentially…
