Canada Day may be over, but that doesn’t mean you can’t celebrate your Canadian pride all-year long! Parks Canada is offering a Free 2017 Parks Canada Discovery Pass as part of its Canada 150 promotions.

After ordering my pass in January, I was finally able to use it as part of of northwestern trip at Jasper National Park — the BIGGEST national park in the rockies.

Road-tripping it like me this year?

You might want to consider for your national park adventures –

– A light sleeping bag for the season

– Hiking shoes

– And a summer hat (Alberta, especially in the Edmonton area, is the hottest in the country right now!) — SAIL Outdoors has provided me with a variety of hats for the season, I personally love my Summit Breeze CTR Hat.

 

Stick around for part two as I continue my adventure car-camping around Canada.
