Favorite vacation/getaway destination? 

I fell in love with the mountains as a child on a family trip to North Carolina. I have taken trips to the Rockies, Green Mountains, and Blue Ridge mountains, but my favorite mountain trip so far was in Canada.  I traveled from Alberta to Banff and up the Icefields Parkway and was blown away by the landscape. The next cold mountain adventure will be Iceland!
