    Marvelous photos, great places all.

    So what is your favorite bioregion?  For example:
    Bioregion, noun, a region defined by characteristics of the natural environment rather than by man-made divisions.

    Cascadia and Boreal.  Even though I have visited many southern destinations, I absolutely prefer the ruggedness, the remoteness, the beauty, the wildlife, low population growth of Canada's north...

  • Hi!
    Hi! Posts: 3,095
    I would love to travel to Canada’s boreal forest and or travel through the Canadian Rockies. I watched a documentary awhile ago about a young couple that traveled through Canada in an RV, the scenery looked magical. Unfortunately the 7 or 8 misdemeanors I have on my record would most likely make getting a passport to travel through Canada impossible. My family took a vacation when I was younger through Ontario to the Niagara Falls, that was awesome. I remember the rural, and farm land on the way there to be amazing. Even at a young age I recognized how beautiful it was.

    The US government issue the passport you need.  Canada does not require Americans to produce anymore that a passport to cross.  As for your misdemeanours, I'm not sure if that would stop you.  Plenty of Canadians travel to the US with felonies...until they are caught, of course.

    The Canadian Rockies are worth the visit...just so majestic.

    I've only been as far north as Prince George.  Hope to venture further north some day.

    I loved every minute of it
    This is what it looks like between the ears of a mule. ;)

    And then at the end of the day you know there's that lodge there.  If the riders had a good time you go to the bar afterwards and they buy you drinks. There's a special shot & you keep the shotglass and it says I survived the Grand Canyon I don't know what's in it amaretto and something else??  But its good times.  And every evening the guests want to go celebrate with the guides they were with. I met a lot of great people from all around the globe
    I know exactly what you're talking about as to where you were camping me and my buddies camped there a few times just for the heck of it yeah it was great.
    Loved seeing those Kaibab squirrels.
    Seeing the Grand Canyon is really the only item on my bucket list(I don’t have a bucket list but if I did). My goal is to take Route 66 down there in the next couple of years. No way I’m riding a mule that damn close to the edge though lol. Must of been amazing.
     =) 
    There has not been a mule related fatality in the Grand Canyon  in over a hundred years on either rim. 15 people on average die in the Grand Canyon hiking.  So you would never ride a mule that close to the edge, I would never go without a mule.
    Some people get heat stroke, dehydration heart attacks some people aren't watching where they're going while taking pictures you know,,,,woops..
    You don't have to fall down a whole mile to kick the bucket, 30 feet can do plenty.
    You don't have to be a really good rider either.  Those mules are well-trained and sturdy.
    You'll just be a little sore at the end of the day between your thighs.  But I highly recommend it and don't forget to go to the bar afterwards and get your
    (I MULED GRAND CANYON shot) & keep the glass.... B)
    Imagine...

    ...the sound of a ticking clock.  One Brian Lux enters the screen and climbs aboard a mule.  Cut to the next scene and said mule is ambling along, heading downward into the Grand Canyon, it's rider is sweating bullets.  Cut to next scene and suddenly a sidewinder rattler shimmies past said mule which bucks sending its rider flying into the void.  The sound of screaming fades out as the screen fades to black.

    Over one hundred years, eh?  With my luck... :lol: 
    @brianlux

    If you have a mule accident they have a crack medical rescue team that will get up the canyon gently.

    Thats awsome!!
    And you get to hear someone playing that Titanic tune on a recorder.... that's pretty rad man!!! And. then you throw your huge dimond that's worth million$  into that huge abyss a mile down while you're being dragged out lof there letting go of the past....That diamond is falling fast and gracefully down past the walls of the canyon until it suddenly smacks some unsuspecting hiker in the head way the hell down there. And he says "Dammit ouch!!  That's going to leave a  f****** mark!!!  Picks it up and says "Holy s*** I'm rich!!!"
