Snowshoe
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.
Mount Stanley Waterfalls
So this wasn’t really a mountain but it was close to Mount Stanley off of 93. Present company was Ryan, Sheldon, Dorothy, Derek (Dorothy’s friend), Curtis and myself. We did this snowshoe Saturday January 28, 2017. The forecast was for 11 in Calgary so it was a great opportunity to get out in the mountains.…

Smith-Dorrien Creek
We snowshoed this creek on Sunday November 29. Present company was Curtis and me. The day started out a bit chilly but as the sun began to warm the mountains, the chill quickly left the air. We parked just south of the Mount Burstall parking area on a closed road (before the gate). There were…
