Welcome

This blog describes how to spend one week in the Canadian Rockies. It is based on a real trip by our family in August 2010. The week actually consisted of 7 days and 6 nights. It included air travel and car rental, and had a budget in mind, which meant no ultra fancy hotels or extravagances.

The family consists of a couple in their 40s, and two kids, a 14-year old girl and an 11-year old boy, all fairly fit (important for all the hiking!).

There are individual posts for each day, as well as other infomational posts o costs, books, etc.
