From the hiking parking lot (€6 day ticket) it didn't take long before I warmed up with an incline of up to 21%. However, the view from the Hohfelsen down into the Bernauer Hochtal was worth the effort. On beautiful paths, it went steadily uphill, first to the Kleinen Spießhorn with a pretty good alpine

Calgary - our last stop - some things are quite nice to look at, but it's not really exciting - so, now off to the plane 👋

The best comes last! These three lakes are absolutely phenomenal,
Peyto Lake, grass green with a three-pointed peak
Moraine Lake, deep turquoise blue with the huge moraines
Lake Louise, light green between the mirroring mountains
Here I'll just let the pictures speak for themselves 🥰

Not just one Skywalk, but two of them can be found in Golden, one across the valley and one back!
The Golden Skybridge is the highest pedestrian suspension bridge in all of Canada.
It's quite high, this thing, with a height of 130m, walkway approx. 1m wide, quite wobbly and the thought that your phone

A small hike on the Bighorn Canyon Trail to Cesent Waterfall. Along the canyon, a miniature version of the Grand Canyon, runs a pretty path through the forest; in the last third, the two-tiered Cescent Waterfall can already be seen. Once there, you can enjoy the two beautiful tiers right by the water - super beautiful!

Mighty masses of water also carve their way into the rocks here, beautiful to behold, you just want to keep watching the water.
On the way to the associated glacier, we made a short stop at Sunwapta Falls - a great gorge has formed there.

After the waterfalls, it was the turn of the lakes today. First, we drove through the heart of the huge, devastating wildfire near Jasper from 2024, unimaginable scale! (extra photos later). Medicine Lake lies in the middle of this area, a pretty lake that glitters in the morning sun as if there were

Today we visited the 4 most beautiful waterfalls in Clearwater Canyon - what a great sight!! Each had something special, one was long, thin and high, one was only 20 m high but 90 m wide, one with a washed-out cave, and at the 4th one could walk behind the falling water on a narrow path - spectacular and impressive, all four.

The Peak to Peak Gondola starts in Whistler, where the 2010 Winter Olympics took place. To begin with, a short visit to Whistler, like Titisee, just a bit more elitist 😉
The first gondola ride went up Whistler Mountain with a wonderful panoramic view of the many peaks and glaciers - a great view.

You can't miss the third highest waterfalls in British Columbia. At 335 meters, they are very impressive, even if there isn't too much water here, it's still a great sight.

Here is a selection of photos from the journey
(the photos are quite mixed up)
First from Vancouver to Vancouver Island - then back to the mainland and up to the Rocky Mountains to Calgary.
Of course, the drive through the area of the current forest fire near Lillooet was very depressing, the air there

The name of these beautiful waterfalls comes from the language of the Pentlatch, a Coast Salish First Nation, and means something like: "where the salmon come from".
I didn't see any salmon, but the waterfalls are definitely worth a detour, especially since they are not far from our route.

A very well-maintained trail runs along a rugged rocky coast, again with many huge trees along the way. The vegetation reaches down to the water, where a small seal pup also curiously looked around.
The trail is divided into several sections, it runs along the coast to Tofino - a very interesting and pleasant path to walk.

The "Big Trees" of Vancouver Island - you can admire them on two small loops, up to 800 years old!! Difficult to capture in photos. Only in comparison can you realize how mighty they are, photo 33 - the "small" trunk next to the giant has the diameter of an average fir tree!

This round could also have been called "From hut to hut". There is certainly no shortage of seating here. On the other hand, there isn't much in terms of views, although the paths and the tranquility in the forest are beautiful. Since there isn't much to marvel at, there were hardly any people around
