Some Pictures from Recent Activities


Hugh and Chris on Forget-Me-Not Ridge

Well things have been good in the last while, running has been going better, getting out more often and even getting a little paddling in. I have been out more then this shows but I didn't always have a camera with me. The few pictures I do have are from a very wet run up Forget-Me-Not Ridge where it rained hard for the first 45 minutes of the run. I also got up Powderface Ridge a while ago and enjoyed great weather and fantastic views. This was the run where we beat the mtn. bikers to the top and also to the bottom. It is so satisfying when that happens. Lastly they are from a camping trip with my parents, my dad and I had a chance to go for a paddle from Banff to Canmore on the Bow River and it was a spectacular day, not to hot, a little breeze and a few hours on the water.

The paddle has been my highlight so far this summer as my dad had always wanted to paddle the Bow and I was able to do that with him. I am so looking forward to the next trip that we have when I get to do a little paddling with him again.
