91. Bellevue Prairie Walk

 Distance: a few kilometres

Elevation: negligible

On July 11, 2021 we returned to Waterton after about 19 years. We camped with Seonju and Sally and decided to do a couple short hikes before joining them Sunday afternoon.

Bellevue prairie hike was like a walk in a garden; we walked slowly, admired and tried to name all the flowers we saw.

The roses were easy. They were interesting because they changed colour in different areas.

The bergamot was the most common and was interesting because a sign warned us of transporting spotted knapweed seed and it looks very much like bergamot.

Of course, we ate lunch there soaking in the flat surroundings, birds and ground squirrels.

There were a few flowers which we could not identify and also saw later on other hikes.

Then we hurried back to escape the rising wind and threatening clouds.


 

It was a beautiful little walk and should be repeated at other seasons.
