It feels like it was only yesterday that I did one of these birthday posts 😅 Where does the time fly?!

Find me a place more beautiful than this, I dare you!

What are you up to this weekend? ✨

At last, it was made possible to check off one of our top bucket list destinations - Spirit Island! 🏝

So so thankful for the rain we got the past week to cool us down after the heat wave! 🥵 Anyone else grateful to have AC or were y’all sweating every two seconds no matter how high you had your plug-in fan on? 😅

Have you ever gone back to a place or redone an experience, and your sentiment towards it became completely different than the first time around?

❗️GIVEAWAY CLOSED❗️

Off to Lake Louise again today! 🤗🏔

It’s official! 🙌🏻

It feels like it was only yesterday that I did one of these birthday posts 😅 Where does the time fly?! It’s been quite a year! I honestly wouldn’t change a thing about it. But I’m also excited to look forward to another formidable year on this earth. I just want to say: I am so grateful to be here! And I couldn’t be happier to have you all here as well! 💖 Cheers to another year, you guys! 🥂🍻 📸 @jasonmengvisuals

Find me a place more beautiful than this, I dare y

Find me a place more beautiful than this, I dare you! That place exists and it’s waiting for us. I don’t believe that all this beauty was just a result of chaos and random events. No sir. Not even our individual lives simply exist with no purpose or design that go beyond the boundaries of our lives’ existence. I’m not sure why but every time I sit on the ledge admiring Moraine Lake and the Valley of Ten Peaks, I tremble at the magnitude of love that God, the Creator of all this, has for me, which is infinitely more than any other being ever could. No number of good works will make Him love me any more, and no amount of hurt I put on Him in the past will make Him love me any less. He still knocks on my door every single day and some days I open it, other days I ignore it. Yet He’s still there, constantly, to comfort me, to uplift me, to bless me, and teach me. 📸 @jasonmengvisuals

What are you up to this weekend? ✨ It’s been MONTHS since we’ve had a weekend to ourselves without leaving town/working/exploring. Jason and I are going to be relaxing at home, getting a massage, running a few errands, but still enjoying sleeping in and watching some movies ☺️ We won’t be hiking this weekend! 🤭 But this restful couple of days will be much needed as we head into yet another busy week. We’re thankful for you guys and how you’ve been following along no matter how present we are on here! 💗 Though we’d love to do something new every week and share it with you, we have to admit to ourselves that that’s not always possible. And that keeping our sabbath is super important! 🙏🏻 Thanks everyone for being a part of our journey, during both the high and low tides 🥰 Let me know below what you’ve got planned for this weekend! 👇🏻 📸 @jasonmengvisuals

At last, it was made possible to check off one of our top bucket list destinations - Spirit Island! 🏝 Thanks to @pursuitbanffjasper, we sailed across @malignelake on the most beautiful glacier lake cruise 🚢, spotting kayakers, canoe rowers, SUP’ers and swimmers before boarding to see the famous calendar photo view we’ve been waiting for. The water was even more blue than the sky and the island stood tall in the valley within the Queen Elizabeth and Maligne mountain ranges. Though it was a hot summer’s day, our time on Maligne Lake was everything we hoped it would be! About the cruise 🚢:
The Maligne Lake Boat Tour usually runs from the end of May (or early June) to the beginning of October. It leaves the dock between 10am and 5pm daily in the summer months, every 15 to 30 minutes. The Classic Cruise lasts 1.5 hours with 15 minutes to admire Spirit Island from the shore’s vista. Important tip: Be sure to book your tickets in advance online! Is Spirit Island on your Jasper bucket list?

So so thankful for the rain we got the past week to cool us down after the heat wave! 🥵 Anyone else grateful to have AC or were y’all sweating every two seconds no matter how high you had your plug-in fan on? 😅 Today’s the first day of Stampede!!! 🤠 We’re putting a pause on our one-hike-a-week goal to stay in the city and enjoy the first year back of Calgary Stampede! Things will look a little different this year yet still sticking to the roots of the greatest outdoor show. Jason and I have lots on the itinerary this weekend and can’t wait to share with you guys what Stampede will look like in 2021! Head over to my stories for the next two days as we tour Calgary, learn about Indigenous history, hit up some Stampede concerts to hear amazing Alberta born-and-raised musicians, and more! 📸 @jasonmengvisuals

Have you ever gone back to a place or redone an ex

Have you ever gone back to a place or redone an experience, and your sentiment towards it became completely different than the first time around? The first time we climbed EEOR, I was pretty miserable. Entirely on the way down but even on the way up. It was hot, crowded and my first time summiting a true scramble. This year we decided to not summit the peak but go to the meadow area to enjoy the mountainous view. But as we headed up the scree to reach the meadow, these incredible clouds at our level came rolling in across the very viewpoint we had just stopped at! We quickly decided to ditch our route to the meadow landing and book it back down the scree to view Whiteman’s Pond through a veil of clouds right at our feet. We spent a good 20 minutes here just enjoying and being amazed at the phenomenon, and meeting a cute chipmunk named Charles (I wanted to call him Fred but I guess Jason got this one 🤷🏻‍♀️) 🐿 You might’ve guessed that we didn’t head back up to the meadow because we saw everything we wanted to see on this hike, and more! My opinion of this hike did a full 180 after this. Not everything needs to be summited for you to have the experience you came for! Sometimes the most enjoyable moments are the ones you catch along the way. 📸 @jasonmengvisuals .
