City view

From last fall, a rewarding view of downtown Calgary from the upper section of Edworthy Park in Wildwood. I could have got there the easy way, by driving over and parking in the lot by the dog run. Instead, I took the bus to the Parkdale side of the park for a nice afternoon urban hike.

Phoenix, Arizona, U.S.A.

Another view from Pinnacle Peak Park in Scottsdale, Arizona, last month. The mountain is higher but hikers are prohibited from most off-trail excursions, which appear to be limited to rock climbers only.

Another view from my quick hike in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area last month. The remnants of the old Sutro Baths are at the left, along the shore.
