Kananaskis Hike

The weekend before school started we decided to do a little hike in the Kananaskis. We decided on Troll Falls, a very easy hike in and out, and some beautiful falls to see.  The drive out was beautiful, I love the mountains, so majestic.  We got to the parking lot where the hike starts and boy was it full.  Because it was a long weekend and the last before school started everyone had the same idea!!

The hike in was fairly easy, my kind of hike!!  We stopped lots to take pictures.

The falls were beautiful, and kind of mysterious.  The legend has it that a troll actually inhabits the area, we even saw his face frozen in the rocks!!!!  There were lots of people there looking at the falls, but it was still fun and we got some pretty cool pictures.

On our way back out we noticed a sign for the Upper Falls.  The boys really wanted to do it, I wasn't sure.  My lungs are so bad since I had that blood clot in them, but we went and am I ever glad we did.  I didn't make it all the way to the falls as I set a slower pace then everyone else and they were headed back down as I was trudging along!!!  The Upper Falls weren't as spectacular as the Troll Falls but it was still neat to see!!!

Driving home we made a loop around where we started and ended up in High River.  Just in time for some supper where we ate at Boston Pizza.


It was a fantastic day, I love spending time with my family.  And what a great way to end off such a great summer.  Now its back to school, back to routines and back to reality!!!!
