Elkhorn Lodge interior (Banff – August 2024)
We stayed in Banff for four nights earlier this month. The above photo is of the canvas picture hanging above our bed. I was wondering if we’d ever see the place in the photo. After checking out of the Elkhorn Lodge on the morning of our fifth day, we headed up the Icefields Parkway where we did get that view (below).

Lower South Falls (Silver Falls State Park, Oregon – August 2024)
This past Monday I found myself in Silver Falls State Park for the fourth time in my life. This was very different from the prior three trips as those were all in spring.
Pro tip: go in spring, not summer. The waterfalls have a lot more water to them in spring, the greens are greener, and the crowds are much smaller.

Biking Banff
I’ve never been this far from home with my actual bike before. Very fun.
Regarding the title of this photo, this trail allows bikes, but there are some very steep sections–some of which include stairs even–that bikes don’t do well on. Hence, we locked our bikes up after just a few hundred meters into the 10+ km trail and did the rest on foot. Great trail BTW (and not crowded until the Hoodoos Overlook). Highly recommend!
