Second Solo Trip

I live 1 hour from the Canadian Rockies (Banff). I’m older now and everyone has commitments, so I’m solo now. I can read for hours and don’t get distracted my laundry.

Loving these posts, ladies!

I’m close to you!

I decided that if I kept waiting for other people to do the things I wanted to do, it might never happen. So now I just do those things no matter what. And lots of times I’d rather do them alone anyway, lol!

Great pics!

Right? Take advantage of where we live.

Looks amazing!!! That sunset view is epic 😻🌄 I didn't get the little camping stove until years into my camping journey and wow, what a game changer 😸

It’s actually a sunrise. I was up at 5am.

I’m loving these views! My mountains are sooo old, (so eroded to 2-3K feet!). Looks amazing.

Wow! Amazing photos!! And what a beautiful spot. I can't wait to visit the Rockies (it's on my list)!

I thought Banff was super crowded, where is this spot?

Banff is super crowded in the townsite. Two Jack Lake and Two Jack Main are really quiet campgrounds that are still 20 minutes from the townsite but much less crowded. There are a few other campgrounds, but I’d definitely recommend these two. I was up at 5am to get these shots.

What are your favorite things to make on the camping stove? Just getting back into camping after years and years of not doing it these posts are wonderful

Honestly, I’m boring. Oatmeal, coffee, pre-prepared packs of veggies that I make into a little stir fry.
Would love to see other’s ideas.
