Earlier this week, I posted a photo of the Icefields Parkway, and I mentioned my visits to the Glacier Columbia Icefield and walks onto the Athabasca Glacier. I didn't mention the newest attraction there, which is the Glacier Skywalk. The reason that I didn't is that I am not sure how I feel about it.
The skywalk is almost a twin to the one that was built over the Grand Canyon by the Hualapai Indian tribe. While they are similar, they have a very different feel from one another. Previous to being built, the area of the Grand Canyon where it now located was seldom visited by tourists. It is quite a way from Grand Canyon National Park (about 4 hours) and, before it was built, there was no reason to go there. The Glacier Skywalk is a different story to me. Located right on the Icefields Parkway, the area the skywalk now takes up was once available to all who wanted to stop and take in the views. Now, you can't even stop there to enjoy the views. For that privilege, you need to park at the Glacier parking lot, pay $32 and be driven to the skywalk by a "free" shuttle (hard to believe they advertise this as free).
In my opinion, taking something that was free with access to all and turning it into a money grabbing initiative is a shame. Granted, the skywalk does give you some different views but it is the principle to me.
When we visited the spot a couple of years ago, the skywalk wasn't open and I took this photo from the northern end of the skywalk.
I am simply too excited. Progressive Insurance spotted my Custom Flo Minifigure and posted it to their Facebook and Twitter accounts. I grabbed a screenshot of the figure on their account. Glad they like the figure.
One of the absolute must dos for any visitor to Jasper National Park is to take a 90 minute (round trip) boat ride to see the iconic Spirit Island. The tour begins at the northern end of the 14 mile long beautiful waters of Maligne Lake. All along the shoreline of the lake are some of the most amazing mountains that the Canadian Rockies have to offer. I have taken this trip twice, and the anticipation of waiting for the departure of your scheduled boat just builds and builds. As I walked along the lake, I couldn't stop taking photos of the Maligne Lake Boat House, with the mountains off in the distance that I would be shortly seeing close up.
The Pacific Coast Highway conjures up many different images in peoples minds. Perhaps they are different because of the length of the highway. The road runs 656 miles along California's coast. The road changes names here and there, but it is essentially the same road. Pick a section of the road and it will bring different things to mind. It might be the rocky shoreline of Big Sur, the sea stacks in the ocean in places like Morro Bay, or the great small towns like Half Moon Bay just south of San Francisco. That doesn't include places like Monterey or Carmel or Pebble Beach or Santa Barbara. How about unusual places like eating in the Artichoke Restaurant in the artichoke capital of the world, Castroville. The list goes on and on. The point is that if you haven't driven that road, make sure you add it to your bucket list. I have lost count on how many times I have driven it (somewhere between 10 and 20 times) but each trip is a new adventure.

Hey you,
I would love to invite you to my facebook page. I thought that it would be a great platform to share with you all the photos and things that I don't share here. And so if you like a bit of what I do, what I'm trying to do or what you think that I'll do I would really love to see you there.
Lots of love
