Kananaskis Country
Today we did a driving tour on a gravel road from Canmore to the Kananaskis Country, we wanted to get away from the “maddening crowd” and figured there would not be too many tourists on a gravel road. The drive was very scenic following the Kananaskis River and at one point we had to stop…
