So I finally got around to it. All the posts written over the past…well, more than a year, that’s for sure; it’s all indexed in one place. Since I finished the posts at the end of December I’ve created a google map with a short line about each sight and link to the profile. As… Read More The map, it’s done: 365 Sights plotted
Now that I’ve finished up the 365 Sights of Canada I’ve got a few other lists I’d like to tackle. However, I’m taking a short break (since I do work/write fulltime in a different capacity, and a daily blog is significant work to add to that). I’ll probably get on to writing one-off pieces about… Read More Future of Treqd after 365 Sights
Holy crap the last one! I decided to wrap up in a bit of a historic spot. If yesterday was a representation of modern First Nations’ culture, this is the opposite; the first landing point of Europeans. While I’ve spent the entire year avoiding places that were historic but boring visually I decided…not to break… Read More 365 Canadian Sights | Day 365: L’Anse aux Meadows
While the school has been around for decades, the iconic building is just over 10 years old. Designed by famed indigenous architect Douglas Cardinal, it’s full of neat design elements. Most people recognize that the central atrium is designed like a tipi, but there’s more meaning than that here. The walls, aside from the elevator,… Read More 365 Canadian Sights | Day 364: First Nations University
What would a series about Banff be without a glacial lake? The Rocky Mountains are stuffed with amazing lakes, and here’s one more. I promise this will be the last one on this list. Lake Minnewanka has been around for thousands of years, and was known as the ‘Water of Spirits’ by the local Nakoda… Read More 365 Canadian Sights | Day 363: Banff Week – Lake Minnewanka
Part of what makes Banff interesting is it’s long history as a tourist destination. Just on the edge of Banff National Park is one of the more unusual sights in the park. Tucked up between a pair of peaks is Abbot Pass, and a small stone hut. The hut was built nearly 100 years ago… Read More 365 Canadian Sights | Day 362: Banff Week – Abbot Pass Hut
Banff, you may have noticed, is in the mountains, and that means more than just rugged backdrops. To be honest, there are dozens of peaks in the Rocky Mountains with great views, but not all have a town below. It doesn’t hurt that Sulphur Mountain has views up and down valleys as well, which gives… Read More 365 Canadian Sights | Day 361: Banff Week – Sulphur Mountain summit
The sights in this park go beyond just iconic for the place, they’ve become symbols of luxury travel, even if you don’t know where Banff is. For some of these photos it’s a sight where you can explore an area and get lots of different angles. Sometimes there are multiple subject matters, sometimes there are… Read More 365 Canadian Sights | Day 360: Banff Week – Surprise Corner
When you look on a map at how close all these Banff sites are, you really understand why it’s become a luxury tourism destination. In the middle of town the Bow River makes a couple quick turns and then drops about 30 ft. into a broad part of the river over some rocks. It doesn’t… Read More 365 Canadian Sights | Day 359: Banff Week – Bow Falls
There’s a reason Banff is ground zero for the Canadian National Park system. Just outside of the Town of Banff lies one of the most important tourism spots in Canada. Hidden underground, a cave with a basin of glacial water may not seem like an obvious point of inception, but it’s here that Canada’s national… Read More 365 Canadian Sights | Day 358: Banff Week – Cave and Basin
