Last fall I stumbled upon Canadian Mike’s blog. His pictures from runs in the Canadian Rockies are inspiring and often made useful by the inclusion of elevation profiles and trail maps. The site would be a great resource if you were planning a vacation (or live) near Banff, Alberta, Canada and wanted to were going to be able to get in some running. It’s also a great place for some inspiring photography. Mike does a great job both with taking pictures and ith posting lots of them.
