The Kananaskis

Unfortunately, the mountain I wanted to climb, Ha Ling Peak, was closed for maintenance. Instead, we were going to attempt its neighbor, Miner’s Peak. As luck would have it, we ended up walking in a large circle around the base of the mountain, not able to find the trailhead. We eventually gave up and had to hitchhike our way back to the car with a very nice couple from Chile.

We did see some cool camouflaged climbing creatures.

As well as some very dignified peaks in the distance. Actually, I think this mountain is called Goat Mountain…

And here’s a handsome Elk along the side of the road.
