Banff covers 2,564 square miles, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and boasts over 1,000 miles of hiking trails, Canada’s longest cave system, Castleguard caves, and is home to Alberta’s Continue Reading →
On April 4, 1997, I quit my desk job to start what is now Zephyr Adventures. My first task was to fly to Europe to find the very first location for our only tour that year, with two possibilities in mind: the northern area of Friesland in The Netherlands or the Danube bike path in Continue Reading →
Everyone should see a major fireworks display every few years. They are impressive. But for creating lasting memories – in both children and adults – festivities in small town America are the way to go for Fourth of July. Zephyr’s home base of Red Lodge, Montana has a population of 2,300. It is situated next Continue Reading →
