Bull Creek Hills
A nice 14km hike on a warm spring day! Lots of up then lots of down. Snow in areas but relatively dry. Did this April 2, 2021. The full loop was almost in sight but we did a detour and came back almost the same way we went up.
Rocky Ridge
First hike of 2021! This short out and back was done March 13, 2021. After a couple weeks of above 0, we decided to try a hike instead of a snowshoe. Trail was hard packed snow but was melted just enough that it wasn’t ice. Windy at the top of the knoll where to turned.
Bull Creek Hills
I’m a bit late posting this. We did this hike April 28, 2019 (Curtis and I). We weren’t sure on conditions so we just winged it for location. It’s our second official hike of the season so we wanted something relatively easy. We couldn’t really find any trails; it seemed like they cane and went…
Murray Creek Snowshoe
We did this snowshoe on Saturday January 26, 2019. Present company was Curtis and myself. This was the first time we’ve been out snowshoeing for almost 2 years. We didn’t hike much in the summer either due to wildfires so we wanted something short but sweet. Today’s forecast was supposed to be above 0 so…
Boom Lake
It’s a nice, short hike if you are in Banff or Lake Louise and looking for something to do. It wasn’t crowded the day we went out, but I have driven past when there are cars parked along the highway – it can get busy.
Ribbon Falls to Ribbon Lake
We did this hike Sunday, September 10th. It was just Curtis and I. After an entire summer of no hiking due to knee injury, forest fires, and selling 2 houses (and buying a house); we finally managed to get out for a hike. Both of us have always wanted to do this one because it’s…
Highline Trail
We did this hike Friday, July 7, 2017. Present company was Curtis and I. We were camped at Fish Creek Campground in Glacier National Park for the week and decided to do the Highline Trail. It was closed still from the winter up until Thursday. We had always wanted to do it because it affords…
Rae Glacier
A great hike and a great day. It was 27-28 at the top with no wind. Round trip was about 5 hours. The views were spectacular, especially of Rae Glacier.
