In June, 2022, Herm and I joined Alberta Wilderness Association for a guided hike in the sand dunes of Wainwright, in eastern Alberta.
We drove up on Friday, explored the village, and joined the group on Saturday for a 14 kilometre hike through grasslands and sand dunes. The guide was very knowledgeable about all the birds, butterflies (many yellow swallowtails) and vegetation.
The first little adventure was walking over a long beaver dam, not dangerous but risky for wet feet.
We ate out lunch on top admiring the view and enjoying the heat.
After a great hike and good social interaction we drove to a nearby town for supper. As we pulled in to the parking lot, Herm verified that he had a serious flat tire. He put on the spare and we spent the night in Wainwright till a very kind mechanic at Okay Tire helped us get new ones on Sunday morning. It was a good experience all around as this way we had a leisurely drive home and explored more of this great province.
