| The Canadian Rocky Mountains |
| In October of 2000, I decided to take a little
vacation. Things around Seattle weren't exactly going as well as I'd like them to
and I needed to get away from it all. I'd managed to rack up A LOT of vacation time
over the last few years, so it was time to put it to use. The question was where to
go? I hadn't ever traveled abroad (outside the comfortable confines of the USA), but
I knew I wanted to see something new and spectacular. About the time I was ready to just throw a dart at a map and take off, I heard from a Canadian friend of mine (Dave) who is now living in Wichita, Kansas. Dave and I worked together at Boeing for a while and he's since moved on to bigger and better things with Learjet. He was planning a vacation to Calgary, Alberta and wanted me to meet him up there. The plan was to hit the mountains from Banff to Jasper, and I had no idea what I was in for. What I saw was truly incredible, to say the least. The rest of the story is told by the pictures, because I just can't do justice to the incredible beauty and majesty of the Canadian Rockies with words. The pictures that follow are just a sample of about 300 that I took. Everywhere I turned there was something else spectacular to take a picture of.
