Kananaskis

I'll not post allllllll the pictures we took from our Kananaskis camping trip, but here is a selection:


Brent and I hiked up Burstall pass, which was BEAUTIFUL. Highly recommend this hike. We walked through subalpine valley up to the alpine pass through some lovely meadows. The sun was shining, the landscape was all kinds of fall shades of green and orange and red, the air was fresh and we really felt the the power and majesty of God's creation once again.






The four of us drove to Coleman down along Highway 40 and the Forestry Trunk Road.


The Crow's Nest Pass area is truly beautiful.

The town of Coleman was sad and empty but a really neat picture of a town and mine frozen in a past time. We also stopped at the remains of the Leitch Collieries and took the self-guided tour around the site.



And on our way home we took dusty gravel range roads right up underneath the mammoth wind turbines at Pincher Creek. Awe-inspiring.
