Bruce and Ev treated us to another valley of gorgeous scenery.
Kananaskis Valley or
Peter Lougheed Provincial Park
This is the 'other end' of the Canmore Scenic Drive that we took.
We stopped to see this Rock Glacier
The simplest definition of a Rock Glacier is a landform of moving ice that is covered in rocks and debris that protect the ice from melting.
We were looking for the "Rock Rabitt" or Pika
among the rocky hillside.
We did see one, but it disappeared among the rocks.
This rock looks like it has been scrubbed by the glacial ice.
Pikas live in the rocks, and come feed on the grass and flowers.
Rugged rocks and thick green forests
Lush green valleys
Bruce found another lovely lunch spot.
Ev packed a great picnic and we enjoyed watching the folks enjoying
the water sports.
Then, Bruce wanted to take a short hike to the waterfall.
It was .6 mile ( but felt much longer)
We made it!!
There was another small lake further up the trail, but the other hikers said they spotted 3 Grizzlys
(no, we didn't proceed)
Kananaskis trail closed after multiple grizzly bears spotted in the area
Beautiful views on the way down
and another fantastic day!
