Welcome to the Lens of Turk

I’ve visited quite a few mountain towns over the years. For me, Jackson Hole & The Grand Tetons remains one of my absolute favorite places to spend time especially when a trip to Jackson Hole includes bikes! It’s been a …

Skip Toronto

From Niagara Falls, we headed straight up to Toronto to spend a couple of days seeing the city and, of course, eating all the foods Toronto had to offer! We stayed on the Harbor Front in a high-rise condo. Overall, …

Niagara Falls

We’re finally doing it… making a trip to Niagara Falls! We’ve been talking about making this trip for years, but so many other trips and places always seem to get booked and we forget about Niagara Falls. It’s our first …
