Always wanted to tee it up at Balfour and finally did the past week, what a view what a course and what layout. the course was in excellent shape considering it had recently been punched. Anytime you have a few hours to spare tee it up,you won't be disappointed,even with a bad score.

We passed through the Glacier National Park on our coach tour of the Canadian Rockies in August 2019. We were driving along the Trans Canada Highway to Banff National Park and stopped for a while at the Rogers Pass National Historic Site which is at the centre of Glacier National Park. We could see the high mountain peaks with dense pine forests and active glaciers. There is a lot of wildlife in the forests like bears, wolves, deer, elk, caribou and many more. We saw some stuffed exhibits of these animals in the Rogers Pass Discovery Centre. The park has many trails, campgrounds, and some backcountry huts and cabins. The park is known for its heavy snowfall and avalanches, and maintaining the Trans Canada Highway which passes through the park is a constant challenge. The Canadian Armed Forces help in the task to keep the roads clear with the help of Howitzer cannons which we saw stationed near the Rogers Pass Discover Centre.

We had two days in Radium and we spent the better part of both of them in the park. I’m so glad we had time to explore it! Of course we went to the hot springs, but we also hiked quite a bit. We did the Juniper Trail which took about 2 hours - it is marked as a green (easy) trail but there is quite a bit of elevation. I had to rest lots (just an FYI if you have heart or mobility issues). We started at the first parking lot past the gate and then walked back along the highway. Coming back that way you go through the two mountains so that the cliffs are nearly overhead and then have a fantastic view of the river. We also did the Restoration Trail outside of the Redstreak Campground which is an easy 20 minute loop with signs about the way fires are supposed to work in forests and how they are trying to restore the natural forests now after years of prematurely putting out fires instead of letting the dead stuff burn. That was really interesting. Wear bug spray! Finally we did the Paint Pots trail. We did not go all the way to Marble Canyon because of the grizzly bear warning but Paint Pots itself is really amazing. The earth is rich in iron so it’s very red and the water is quite beautiful. There are many more stops along the way so well worth spending the time!
