I’d been to the Canadian Rockies with my parents when I was still in college. The majestic mountains and glacial lakes made a lasting impression on me. In fact, I thought it would be fun to work a summer job at one of the Canadian Parks like Banff or Jasper. Somehow, those plans never materialized, and I got busy with life.

When DH (Dear Hubby) and I were trying to figure out where to travel this summer, I came across a picture of the Canadian Rockies. Since DH had never been, I put together an 8-day trip with six weeks’ advance notice. My hope was to combine the sites I’d seen with my parents on the Tauck Tour, as well as see new places such as Emerald Lake at Yoho National Park.

I wanted Dear Hubby (DH) to see Niagara Falls since he’d never been there, and I had only been there in 6th grade. We also wanted to check out the Finger Lakes of New York. Since we had to fly out of DC on our return trip (Thing 2 was doing a summer internship there), we quickly traveled to the Hudson River Valley and Philly. This is a fast-paced itinerary with lots of waterfall hikes!
