Time Out

Really the photo says it all.
I went hiking yesterday...out into the Rockies.
It was a glorious day and it was wonderful to leave the city behind for a while.

A Day Hike From Calgary

Well we had a little snow again this week...and I got to thinking wistfully of summer and warmer days and then I started looking through old photos.

This shot was taken in September last year and shows a view on the Wenkchemna Pass hike in the Rocky Mountains. This was a day hike. We drove out from Calgary, hiked all day and were home tucked in our own beds that same night.

I am itching to get hiking again but it's been a cold spring and only the lower valley hikes are open. The rest are listed as icy or impassable or subject to avalanches.

Rats!
