Updated 08.11.2017 Driving Canada’s Icefields Parkway provides one grand view after another. Alan and I dug into our photo archives for today’s Saturday’s scene. It reminds us of one of our favorite boomer road trips, even though we were on a bus. After driving on our own whirlwind Western National Park tour, Alan and I […]
Alan and I include exploring in our own backyard when planning boomer travel adventures. We think it’s important to know and appreciate the beauty that surrounds us.
