Fancy lunch.

On the way down.

Quick dip to cool off.

The Behemoth

Its been on the list ever since we came to Canada, taunting us whenever we would stop in a Laggan's for a sausage roll and health cookie. Yes, its name is Temple. So on Sunday, Jo, Jan, Cairns, Jen and I made a summit attempt.

Not too many photos taken on the way up due to 1) getting lost, 2) avoiding flying rocks 3) trying to maximize O2 intake.

Back on the smooth path.

Frolicking with fossils

Time for another expedition to fernie. This time in search of ancient snails.

Following vague directions.

Conditions were extreme

The fossil in all its beauty.

Some quiet time with the fossil.

The next day we decided to hit the ridge walk above Island Lake Lodge

Ominous clouds

Turned out to be a nice day.

Beer at the lodge at the end of the day.

Petain basin

With less than 3 months left in Canada, we still have a few things left on our "to do" list. Petain has been on our list for a while now, so it was about time to git r' done.

On the way, lots of wildflowers.

Flower on mushrooms.

Petain basin and waterfall.

More flowers.

Onwards and upwards.

More flowers.

Thirsty work.
