A TRIP TO EDMONTON, BANFF AND JASPER SHOWS HOW MUCH CANADA HAS TO OFFER AMID ITS CANADIAN ROCKIES: ENJOY THESE PHOTOS FROM OUR FAMILY VACATION
Dear Readers:
Sorry, I haven’t been available for two weeks to serve up Underdogforkids stories. We were on vacation in Alberta, Canada and witnessing its breathtaking  scenery. The time we had was way too short to see all its natural wonders in the Rockies. As some other travelers have indicated, wildlife seems to magically appear and be unafraid of humans. In our case, that included marmots and elk. Fortunately, we didn’t see the big guys, the grizzlies that make the wilderness area their home.

We also enjoyed an adventure meeting scores of huskies at the Snowy Owl Sled Dog Tours where they are trained to sled through ice and snow. 
Enjoy and look for more stories soon on the Underdog.
