Eiffel lake trail in Banff National Park. Remains a favorite. Was my first time with a group out hiking in many years and first time hiking with a group out of the country. Rich did an absolutely excellent job putting it all together and really made me feel a welcomed part of a group. He has a very easy going way of doing and explaining things. Even the long drive to and from Edmonton we had was fun. I made great friends with folks in the group. And there was an ice cream stop scheduled every day of the trip! You can’t get better than that!🍦😊☺️ I miss talking face to face with everyone in these isolating times and seeing their smiles. I miss the beauty and splendor of the mountains. The peaks and valleys are beautiful like music. Sometimes so beautiful they made you silent in awe. I miss the almost daily ice cream too. 😉😁 And I miss Rich’s unparalleled sense of humor on the trail! 😂 #hikecanada #travelfun #goodguides #trailtime #hikealberta #hikewithme #travelblogger #neverstopexloring #eiffellaketrail #epictravel #epichikes #hikingforthesoul #banffnationalpark #canadianrockies #hikinghumor #missthemountains #travelagain #wanderlust #missingpeeps #portraitsofatraveler (at Banff National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_97CjbFo19/?igshid=jk8xzmtd2cq9

Heading down the bright angel trail in the warming chill air as the sunrises. Rich has really very good sense about timing hikes. It was well worth the early wake up to start early on this trail. We’d hike others with an early start such as Yosemite falls too. Not only does it pay off with a gorgeous sunrise, but there is that morning quiet too. It’s different than sunset quiet. It a waking versus a restful evening settling in. Both are wonderful. You only get so many sunrises and sunsets in your life. So experience them to the fullest. I’m hoping to get some sunset and nighttime hikes in some of these magnificent places as well, using common sense of when it’s viable, of course. #hikewithme #epichikes #brightangeltrail #goodguides #grandcanyon #grandcanyonnationalpark #brightangeltrail #sunrise #morninghike #sunrisehikes #beautifuldestinations #neverstopexloring #naturalwondersoftheworld #thegrandcanyon #onthetrail #greatguide #wonder #arizona #dayhikes #hikearizona #happyhikers #natureescape #hikingforthesoul #adventureawaits #portraitsofatraveler #traveblogger (at Bright Angel Trail) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_phX0bljy3/?igshid=1ct3gkk6hhipo
