Did you know? Calgary’s Bow river is named after the reeds that grow along the banks, which were used by local Indigenous communities to make bows. The Blackfoot name for the river is Makhabn, meaning “river where bow reeds grow”. Photo by Nataliia Kvitovska.

Fun Fact: Many of the touristic activities available to us in the Canadian Rockies were made possible by Swiss Mountain Guides, who migrated to Western Canada at the turn of the 20th Century in response to increasing development in our mountainous region.
The first Swiss Guides were brought over by the Canadian Pacific Railroad Company in order to make mountaineering, an increasingly popular touristic activity, safer. Edward Feuz Sr. and Christian Hasler Sr., the first Swiss Guides to arrive, paved the way for many more to come.
In addition to mountaineering, we can also thank these Swiss Guides for bringing skiing to the Rockies! First in Banff, then Norquay, Sunshine and Lake Louise 🏔

Today we'd like to feature another one of our Guides, Travis Locey!
"For most of the year, I teach high school English, Phys.ed and outdoor Ed. During the summers, I enjoy guiding like-minded folks through the Rockies. I always love to hear guests' thoughts and see their reactions to the beautiful place I call home.
In my personal time, I enjoy hiking, canoeing, and camping with my family. At the end of a big day, I love to sit down by the fire and enjoy great food with my loved ones.
See you in the mountains,
Travis"
