Distance: 6k return
Elevation gain: 500 m
I wanted to do a hike with friends and without my photographer/navigator so in June Sue Pasveer and I tried Moose Mountain.
After slipping in the mud and looking at the trail we decided to save it for another day and walked around Elbow Falls etc.
It was a fine day with a friend.
On Friday, August 10 we tried again but chose Powderface Ridge, an easy hike just west of Elbow Falls.
This is the first view as we climbed out of the trees.
At a junction, we turned right and climbed up to the top of this ridge, an easy walk through trees.
The highlight of the trail was many mushrooms, many colours and patterns.
View from the top to the west.
Can you see Calgary from here to the east??
Supposedly, you can on a clearer day.
I was pleased to find wonderful examples of the umbrella flower up on top.
My first attempt at a self portrait to document the summit. Sorry for the windblown hair.
On June 11, 2017 I did this ridge again with our multicultural group from church. It was perfect weather, a variety of flowers and good spirits. We had a picnic supper at Forget-me-not Pond after the hike. Perfect timing for the crowd had cleared out and left us a picnic table beside the water.
