1 Dear Friends, Here is another chapter of our adventures. Few days after my return from California, we went on a 4-day trip to the Canadian Rockies with Louise, Nasser and Leah. After that we continued to Calgary for two days for more visits with friends. It was a trip that we planned a year earlier It was so nice to be all together as a family for a few days before we left on a trip to the Rockies. Philip and I saw each other for a day in a previous month With lots of family fun and a few wonderful get-togethers with dear people, it came the time to get ready for camping a day almost as interesting as camping itself.

2 And then the day came to travel to the Rockies with our friends Louise, Nasser and Leah A drive through the Canadian prairies from Edmonton to Hinton went really well Oliver slept most of the way. Here are a few very familiar scenes from the Canadian province of Albert And my favourite traffic sign: a turn off for the road to Alaska. One day we will head out that way too And then the Canadian Rockies showed up in front of our eyes magical as always

3 The following days were full of the joy of camping with our friends Louise, Nasser and Leah. During my studies in Edmonton Louise and I spent many weekends travelling and camping together in the Canadian provinces of Alberta and British Columbia. It was fantastic to experience that joy of travelling, camping and staying in the nature with our families now. As you can imagine it, it was a very different and in its own way wonderful experience. It was the first camping for Adriana and Oliver. So many new experiences: setting up a tent, chopping wood, starting the fire, reading stories next to the fire, tons of new types of grass, leaves and trees, close encounters with wild life in the campground (elk), playing with many different things, sleeping in sleeping bags Now that our children have experienced camping and loved it, we are already looking forward to the first family camping trips in New Zealand next summer

4 More joy of camping June 2015

5 The campground was fantastic: in the evergreen forest, at the bottom of the Whistler Mountain, and a few kilometres from the town of Jasper. The campground was covering 1-2 kilometers through the forest with a wonderful and interesting hiking trail through the whole campground. We went on the morning adventure walks a few times on this trail

6 More fun in our campground June 2015

7 We enjoyed again the charming town of Jasper June 2015

8 One afternoon we went to the Lake Annette near Jasper. What a fun afternoon for everyone. Adriana, Oliver and Leah played in the lake. Philip and Nasser joined them shortly while Louise and I went for a walk around the lake. As it usually happens when Louise and I get together, adventures (even unplanned ones) are simply meant to happen. After a wonderful 45-minute walk, we found out that we could cross a narrow part of the lake and shorten a bit our walk. Apparently the water was not that deep so we just needed to roll our pants or shorts. The bottom of the lake was covered in mud and bigger rocks a bit slimy but certainly fun experience. We did not mind it. So we started crossing the lake step by step with tons of laughter and a few photos along the way. When the water got above our knees, we were thinking for a moment whether to continue or not. But we were already half way across the lake. We agreed since we had already made it that far, of course we would continue. With many more laughs we made it to the other side. From all the excitement we did not even notice the temperature in that lake it was the longest time that I have ever spent in any of the lakes in the Canadian Rockies

9 Here are a few more wonderful memories from the Lake Annette June 2015

10 Adriana wanted to climb a mountain. So we went on a short hike (with 130 meters of elevation gain) to the Old Fort Point hill near Jasper. This short hike offered spectacular views of the river Athabasca, the town of Jasper and surrounding mountains. Adriana and Leah climbed up all the way, while Oliver enjoyed a shoulder ride with Philip A wonderful hiking adventure and the first mountain peak conquered by Adriana and Oliver. Great job, kids!

11 Instead of coming back the same way, I suggested that we make a loop through the forest I realized very soon that my memories of short hikes from my student days are a bit longer when done with children Ops Here are a few more views from this hike

12 And some more beauty of the Canadian Rockies seen from this hiking trail

13 The next day we went to visit the magic canyon of the Maligne River. Lit in the sunshine, this canyon offered a spectacular combination of the shades of grey, brown and green colour Another fantastic place to see in Jasper National Park

14 A few more scenes from the Maligne canyon June 2015

15 Later that afternoon we visited the nearby Medicine Lake. The scenery was breathtaking Children had tons of fun throwing small and a bit bigger rocks in the water. I went for a run on the road about half a kilometer one way and the other from the parking area. In one direction we saw tree brown bears approximately 1 to 2 kilometers from the parking area and in the other direction there was a sign for the beginning of the avalanche area Welcome to running in the Canadian Rockies!

16 A few more spectacular views of the Medicine Lake and the surrounding mountains

17 Icefields Parkway: Road through the Canadian Rockies from Jasper to Banff After 3 wonderful days of camping with our friends Louise, Nasser and Leah, we had to continue our trip to Calgary. We said goodbye to our friends in Jasper and headed out south. There was so much to see and experience on that 200-kilometer road from the town of Jasper to Lake Louise in Banff National Park and we had only one day to see it This is one of the most spectacular drives in the world. A never ending line up of mountains and valleys reminded me of a spectacular biking trip down this road 11 years earlier with my friend Alexei and our support team of Oxana, Francisco (Paco) and Kaveh. It is amazing how much better one remembers the scenery when going through on the bicycle compared to travelling by car. One day Philip and I will cycle on this road likely together with Adriana and Oliver. We will have to wait a few years

18 We visited spectacular Athabasca falls June 2015

19 This amazing road brought us to the Columbia Icefields June 2015

20 We stopped to admire the majesty of the Columbia Icefields. Photos are saying much more than words

21 The road continued with amazingly beautiful views of the glacial valleys, lakes and mountains of the Banff National Park

22 We stopped at the Bow pass to admire an amazing beauty of the large hidden turquoise glacier lake called Peyto Lake one of my favourite lakes in the Canadian Rockies The road continued further among the mountains with snow- and glacier-covered mountain tops We admired the beauty of the nature from the car

23 We made a quick stop in the town of Banff in Banff National Park. This town is in many ways similar to the town of Queenstown in New Zealand After six years of driving on windy New Zealand roads, Philip was thrilled to drive again on a wide Canadian highway at 110 km/h. The views of the Alberta prairies were fantastic too. That evening we arrived to Calgary

24 Calgary June 2015 The next two days we spent in Calgary with our friends Milena, Keri, Aneli and Sami. We had two wonderful relaxing days with socializing, kids plays, fire, music and stories Fantastic We rode bicycles to a nearby park, played in the stream Children were playing around the house and inside the house, ran in a nearby park, played with the candles and enjoyed the fire The rest of us enjoyed a great company, relaxing atmosphere, tons of stories and planning some new travelling adventures. Wonderful Thank you very much, Milena, Keri, Aneli and Sami! We cannot wait to see you in our part of the world maybe in a few months already!?

25 In Calgary we also had quick visits with Dru and Tammy. And then it was the time to travel to Edmonton straight to a PhD graduation celebration of my former roommate Laura that evening. I am typing these lines while we are still in Calgary. Upon our return to Edmonton we have 5 more days there before flying out to Montreal. Our schedule for those full days is already full and lots of fun is guaranteed. More about that in our next letter. Tons of sunny summer greetings currently from Calgary! Your New Zealand friends, Sandy, Philip, Adriana and Oliver 10 June 2015 Calgary, Canada
