Find some peace in nature

Nothing gets you in the mood to relax more than calming inspiratio­n from breathtaki­ng scenery. Western Canada and the Pacific Northwest has it all: surreal landscapes, riveting canyons, 200 million-year-old volcanic rock, ocean air, exotic rain forests, pounding waterfalls and up close views of the rugged Rocky Mountains.

Whether you’re an avid photograph­er or someone who loves to soak up the moment, these peace-instilling sights are sure to leave you with a refreshed spirit and an album of awe-inspiring photos. Just remember to skip checking your email and put your cellphone on do-not-disturb mode.
