The Niagara falls at night are so much different than the way you see them during the daytime, there are many lights pointing to the falls in different colors and everywhere you look you see the falls in colors – it is really a unique view.

I visited this great restaurant in Calgary back in 2001 and it was great, other than the great food (a lot of meat) and great authentic cowboy atmosphere, i really liked the cool t shirts they are selling in regards to their testicle festival – great stuff.
When i was there it was like, give them your cowboy hat get a free drink, for your cowboy boots you will get a free meal and over your head you can see all the boots and hats – just think about how many people ate there for free

These are some really amazing, high falls which are located in the Yoho National park (right along side between Banff and Jasper). The falls are huge, you will see them from a distance even from the parking area which is probably a good spot to start taking some pictures – you wont be able, when closer to fit it to the frame.

This is truly one of the most amazing ways to experience the falls from close. this a boat tour take you as close as possible to the falls – you will get wet for sure but they give you a coat. It is really touristic and can be crowded sometimes but still it is a really nice way to observe the falls.

Mount Edith Cavell is located at Jasper National Park, you have to follow Highway 93A south and turn off at the Cavell Road (which is kind of a bumpy road but it is worth it). Once there you can see some really amazing glaciers on the mountain side, there is also a small pond full of little bergi bites and a great view of mountain sides and snow around it.
From the parking you have to walk a trail for about 30 minutes, While walking take a look to the right and Uyou will see angel glacier, keep going and then you will get to the pond.

When Travelling in New Brunswick, canada it is really a good idea to stick to the scenic roads, there are 5 of them (each is marked by a different color) and it is a really great way to have some amazing views while driving from one attraction to the other.

I really love the RoomSaver’s coupons book (USA and Canada), they have a site you can print the coupons but usually I don’t like planning too much ahead – I never know where I am going to sleep that night so whenever I get to a gas station or a Burger king or something like that i pick up the book (usually they have a stand on the entrances to these places – especially on highway’s rest areas) – Some deals in this book are really great and other than one case where4 the motel owner didn’t accept his own coupon, motels and hotels are really happy to give the discount.
you can visit their site or pick them once you there – Roomsaver site

In every fast food place on the rest areas across north America you can find near the door a stand with coupons book for the hotels and motels in the surrounding states. The coupons book offers some really nice discounts and good deals and beside each coupon there is a small map and address of the place so it is also really makes it easy to find a place to sleep at night.

At the Twillingate bay in Newfoundland, Canada you can take a short boat ride and get to see many icebergs just floating in the water of the bay. This is a really beautiful and amazing expirience. Icebergs arriving the bay around May-July so there are the months in which you can see them, take a boat ride for an hour or 2 and get as close as possible (they know how close you can get) – this is trully unique.
You can also see some icebergs from the small town of Twillingate.
