August 22nd. Diamond T loop…a bit of recovery…!!

So, having landed back in Alberta after that looong drive Kananaskis Country called us back for a short hike on a hot day. Stretching out the legs was a blessed relief after all that sitting..!!

I think we were one valley over from the Ice Cave hike we did in the spring.

It was great to be outside…..and not driving endlessly..LOL….

We met some local residents. Those guys always make me a bit nervous…I know they are likely completely harmless…..but ya just never know…..!!! My photographer/editor always finds this highly amusing…!!!

We had a couple of muddy creeks to cross…….No…I did not fall in…!!! ( Editor. But if she did I was ready ! )

The hike itself offered some steep climbs towards the end….good thing it was a short one on our jelly legs from driving…!!

It was maybe a little on the warm side….but it was a beautiful day to be out…..and it truly is incredible countryside….with the occasional sneak peak of the mountains to the west.

We invested in the annual pass for Kananaskis/Bow River Alberta parks. ($90)…so I’m predicting a few more Alberta Parks in our future.
