I love this place! Primarily a vegetarian menu, great flavours, great bowls. A fresh, vibrant menu. Can add fish, chicken and bacon to some of the dishes, so it's great for all culinary types!

This restaurant sits quaintly on a river. In summer you can sit outside and enjoy the fresh smells of nature. A nice restaurant, upscale hip.

This kitchen is very close to our condo. You can walk there, pick up your food and bring it back to the condo. Great healthy, fresh and quick! Check the hours before you go, I believe it’s Monday to Friday 9 to 5 kind of thing.

We took the snow bus, it's called the Columbia Icefield Adventure, and went on the Athabasca Glacier. Very fun. It's very majestic at the top of the world, as there is one of two tri-continental divides in the world within sight. (The tri-continental divide is where the point where the rivers go to 3 different oceans.) You can ask where the other one is . . .

This can be a short hike to the lower falls, or a longer hike to the upper falls and then onto the ink pots. Always a good experience. And there is ice cream at the trailhead.
