➤ The Three Sisters are a trio of peaks near Canmore, Alberta, Canada. They are known individually as Big Sister, Middle Sister and Little Sister. In the traditional language of the Îyârhe Nakoda (Stoney) the peaks are also referred to as the three sisters. However, the name refers to a story of Ĩ-ktomnĩ, the old man or trickster, who would promise 'three sisters' in marriage whenever he was in trouble. This trio of peaks has a significant role in the town of Canmore, tourism, and hiking in the area. The Three Sisters may be the most recognized peaks in the Bow River Valley.

What do I do? I am a travel agent! Booking your trip with a travel agent may or may not cost more than booking it yourself, the benefits of using a travel agent can be priceless. Ask anyone who's been stuck in an airport because of a mix-up or canceled flight how invaluable the expertise of a travel agent can be.

If you choose me as your travel designer, please know that:

If something goes amiss when you’re on your trip, I am available to help you. Please call or email me immediately so I can fix it. Don’t be shy and say you didn’t want to make a fuss. You’ve paid money for this vacation and I’m your advocate. Little things that can mar your experience can typically be fixed quite easily and that’s what I’m here for.

When you compare the vacation packages that I can offer you with what’s available via an online travel agency or discount website, please know that you’re probably not comparing apples to apples.

The hotel I’ve selected is in a location I think you will like, based on what you’ve told me. The room I have reserved for you is guaranteed in its category, meaning when you check in, you won’t be given inferior accommodations, based on the desk attendant’s mood. Plus, if you’re looking at a website that brags that it has the lowest pricing available, you’ll likely be getting the lowest quality room available. Trust me.

My favorite part of my job, and something that the internet can’t do, is talk to you and listen to your wish list and trip priorities. I take into account your preferences and needs and match you to your perfect vacation.

I travel. That means that I have experienced and have first-hand knowledge and reviews of many of the destinations, hotels and resorts that I propose to you.

When you’re online and you see a deal that looks too good to be true, it probably is. Travel companies don’t give away things. Is there small print you’re not reading because you’re so excited about the price you’re seeing?

Do bring any deals you see to my attention and I promise to give you my best expert opinion as to what you’d actually get for your money, and in most cases I can give you better value than what you are seeing online.

I have spent the last 6 years building personal relationships with hotel managers and staff, giving me leverage to get you things you can’t get on your own, such as that “sold out” room or the connecting rooms that the online sites say are unavailable.

Do make travel a priority in your life. Every moment is precious and if you keep putting off that family vacation or that couple’s getaway, you may never do it and only end up with regrets.

Let me design a trip for you that will create many wonderful experiences and fabulous memories!
