With light fading rapidly and lives that are all too busy and plugged in, most of us need a boost to make us feel alive, especially at this time of year. One of the most effective ways to beat the winter blahs is to get outside. And one of the prettiest places in the world to do this is in the Canadian Rockies.
Here are 5 easy winter adventures to chase those blues away.
If you can walk, then you can snowshoe and what better place to do it than in Banff National Park. My favourite trail to date is the one to the Inkpots. The trailhead is a few kilometres east of Castle Junction, close to the Johnston Canyon Trailhead. Its 12 kilometres return with 220 metres of elevation gain. The higher you go, the prettier it gets with the pièce de résistance the Inkpots themselves. They are brilliant coloured mineral hotsprings located on the way to Mystic Pass, a hike you might want to consider for summer.
