No Experience Required

You step onto the shuttle while the Rockies rise like an arranged set of props: serrated peaks, glaciers clinging to ribs of stone, and turquoise water that refuses to sit still. The drivers steer a quiet, air-conditioned bus along the Bow Valley as morning light sharpens the ridgelines; the lakes ahead seem to hold their breath.
