I was going to do my own write-up of our first full-day hike in the Canadian Rockies, but Andrew beat me to it, so here’s his write-up. I do however have some narrative included in my photo album for the hike, which can be viewed over on Flickr.
A quick preview:
While we’re generally glad we haven’t ran into any Grizzlies in a bad way, we were really were hoping to see one from a safe distance on our Sunshine Meadows hike on Friday. Alas, no luck. Catching the first shuttle bus in the am may have helped our chances, but I’m still not a morning person.
What we did find was this absolutely adorable little weasel:
…and many a ground squirrel. We also saw a group of 3 larger fauna up in a very high clearing near the crest of a ridge, but I couldn’t ID which type – deer, elk, pronghorn etc. they were with bare eyes.
Checkout this real life Carpe Recession car we spotted on the road near Seattle-
It’s perfect!
Having taken nearly 10,000 photos over the past few months, I am waaay behind on going through and picking out the best of (usually 50%, I don’t go too crazy but at least like the cut the total duplicates), and then posting online. I just finally got through the photos from the great, epic (for us) hike we did on my birthday to Grinnell Glacier in Glacier National Park. You can view them here on Flickr.
