Hill station in Taylor Meadows, Canada

  20 km from Elfin Lakes


These meadows absolutely blew my mind because I have never seen anything like them in my life. Everywhere you look you see alpine flowers and tall pointy trees, surrounded by miraculous mountains and lakes around each bend. Would very much recommend this Hike to Taylor Meadows any day.

Waterfall in Brandywine Falls Provincial Park, Canada

  29 km from Elfin Lakes


This photo is at Brandywine Falls, BC, Canada. I am caught standing in awe, wearing my Grey Wolf Spirithood coat. During this photo, ice sickles were falling off the edge and making this loud hollow banging noise. It was pretty haunting.

Lake in 128 Sea-to-Sky Hwy, Canada

  31 km from Elfin Lakes


The beautiful thing about living in Vancouver is the access to local, beautiful places like this. On this day, I was stressed out, tired and a little down on my luck. My remedy? Grab a Car Share, grab my camera and head out to the mountains for sunset. The result? This beautiful image that I love. Enjoy.

travelers stories about Glacial landform in Blackcomb Glacier, Canada

Glacial landform in Blackcomb Glacier, Canada

  35 km from Elfin Lakes


This was one of the most humbling moments of my life. The sheer size of this mountain was incredible. (for comparison those tiny dots right under the rock/snow line on the far right are people). This was actually a glacier you can barely see the opening of a large ice cave near the bottom of the picture.

travelers stories about Hill in Tantalus Drive, Canada

Hill in Tantalus Drive, Canada

  36 km from Elfin Lakes


What a great time to stop at this lookout which is located off of one of the most beautiful highways in Canada, The Sea to Sky. As we arrived at this spot, I was able to capture the amazing glow of the spring sun during golden hour. Mountains have always had a special place in my heart just because they are so fascinating and you begin to realize how small you are on this earth.

Extreme sport in Whistler, Canada

I’ve got a favourite spot for the slopestyle event at Crankworx Whistler. Every year they change the course and the jumps, so it’s always a new shot. This year, it involved a log and some fab little maple leafs.

Mountain range in Whistler, Canada

  37 km from Elfin Lakes


We were at the top of blackcomb mountain after walking across the suspension bridge surrounded by 360 degrees of mountains and the light hit the blue lake at just the right moment that made me stop in my tracks. It was all my little sony had to zoom in and grab this shot right before the battery died and the lift almost left us at the top of the mountain.

Highland in Whistler, Canada

  37 km from Elfin Lakes


After an intense 4 hour Hike up to Wedgemount Lake, climbing and descending 2400m in only 14 km our legs were completely destroyed. We came across this beautiful lake after the hike and we couldn’t have passed up the opportunity to take some great photos at golden hour. With the trees showing the warm fall colours and the contrast of the blues made for such a calming and beautiful scene

Dock in Lost Lake Trail, Canada

  38 km from Elfin Lakes


I just got back from a great weekend up in Whistler. I took this photo Friday night at Lost Lake. The moon was two thirds full but it was totally clear so the moonlight really lit up the lake. I normally do not include people in my landscape photos but decided to pose in this one. What do you think? Do you think it is better with me in the photo or if I stayed out of the way?

Mountain range in Cypress Provincial Park, Canada

  45 km from Elfin Lakes


As I was descending Black Mountain in Cypress, I witnessed some beautiful light diffraction in the air just after the sunset. This gave me a sky graduated in colors from orange to blue. I used my zoom lens to capture this amazing natural effect.

After a hike up in the fog we couldn’t see anything at the top of the mountain, on our descent I turned around to look behind us because the light seemed pretty nice and this is what I saw.

travelers stories about Jungle in Grouse Mountain, Canada

Jungle in Grouse Mountain, Canada

  46 km from Elfin Lakes


On my hike in BC, I passed through this area - the trees shift happened unexpectedly. At first, you’re in an area of low lying bushes and ferns and then – BAM – 100+ foot tall pines everywhere. It’s a beautiful area to move through and happy I savored the moment.

Forest in Grouse Mountain, Canada

  46 km from Elfin Lakes


The grouse grind is unique and definitive of the Vancouver people. To me - the city lacked the ‘umph’ and culture of a special city, but that’s because its surrounded by gorgeous nature in all directions. Why stay in the city on the weekends – the grouse grind exemplifies this outdoorsy spirit. A hike that’s 2.9 km long but during those you gain 853 meters of elevation. Shot this while i still had the energy when the treeline transitioned.

Forest in Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge, Canada

  49 km from Elfin Lakes


It took me literally ten minutes to take this picture at Lynn Canyon, North Vancouver. That place is so busy that I had to wait about 10 minutes for the people to move out from the scene and make this bridge kind of abandoned.

travelers stories about Suspension bridge in Capilano Suspension Bridge, Canada

Suspension bridge in Capilano Suspension Bridge, Canada

  50 km from Elfin Lakes


Everyone’s seen the iconic Capilano Suspension Bridge in Vancouver, BC. What’s less often seen are the views from the tree canopy walk on the other side of the bridge. Hundreds of years-old Douglas Fir trees tower high above you as you make your way from platform to platform. These trees aren’t Redwoods, but don’t be fooled, they’re massive and awe-inspiring all the same.

travelers stories about Highland in West Vancouver, Canada

Highland in West Vancouver, Canada

  52 km from Elfin Lakes


While driving to Whistler/Blackcomb on a late Friday evening with the hope of taking pictures for the weekend, the roads were deserted and the sun was setting. The highway, Interstate 90, offered few clear views of the surrounding area. As I came around a curve approaching Anvil Island, a brief opening of a view lended itself to see the bay converging with the mountains with the light fading fast. I stood on a jersey barrier the width of a balance-beam off Interstate 90 balanced with the camera over my head and the viewfinder tilted down to frame the shot. Maybe 50% luck, 50% balance.

Road trip in Lions Gate Bridge, Canada

  54 km from Elfin Lakes


This bridge is a staple in my hometown of Vancouver. I like to think this image represents the idea of canceling the unnecessary noise on the outside and focusing on the task at hand. Almost like a perspective of ‘tunnel vision.’

Cliff in Lions Gate Bridge Road, Canada

I was in Vancouver, BC visiting a college, and my family and I decided to spend the day in Stanley Park. Near the end of the day, as the sun was starting to go down, we walked onto Lions Gate Bridge, and I saw a sliver of light shining on the lighthouse below us, so I pulled out my camera and took a shot before it disappeared.

travelers stories about Mountain range in Sunshine Coast, Canada

Mountain range in Sunshine Coast, Canada

  56 km from Elfin Lakes


On this trip to the Tantalus Range I was forced to come to terms with the tradeoff that exists in the high alpine mountains: beauty and danger. One of our teammates fell 40 metres from the face of a mountain to the snow below. He was evacuated via helicopter. This picture was taken hours later. The horror of the fall and the peaceful beauty of the sunset demonstrated that the mountains are indifferent to our presence.
