More views of the Canadian Rocky Mountains

Yes, we were out hiking again yesterday. Besides seeing my sister, this was the main reason for coming. And of course the cheap airfare deal from Ottawa to Calgary return helped as well! We paid only $188 CAD ($139 USD) return per person for the flights.

And that included free beer and wine! Hard to go wrong at that price.

So Friday morning we drove over to the Wasootch Ridge Trail. This is a return trip trail that goes up to Wasootch Peak, but it's a tough hike and it was still pretty windy up there, so we turned around after our lunch stop. We ended up doing 7.2 kms (4.5 miles) round trip with 1,800' of elevation gain.

Mixed skies, with lots of wind and a high of 15C (60F).

There is now some snow at higher elevations.

Nakiska Mountain Resort.

This is usually the first ski resort to open on Canada. Last year, it opened on November 4th. There will be lots of snow and cold coming during the month of October.
