Golden leaves

Looking up at the blue sky, wispy white clouds and golden leaves while on a short hike through Edworthy Park in Calgary at the end of September.

This little critter didn’t take too kindly to my interrupting whatever it was doing. After a few seconds of playing freeze, it scurried off to warn its brethren of a human in their midst. From my short wander through Calgary’s Edworthy Park in late September.

From my wander through Edworthy Park a week ago — a beautiful, sunny autumn afternoon with temperatures reaching into the mid-teens Celsius. (The weather is quite a bit chillier and snowier today.)

There was a corroded tank of some kind sitting uphill from this location along one of the streams in Calgary’s Edworthy Park, so I’m going to go out on a limb and say this is very good advice.

From a hike on Sulphur Mountain in Banff National Park a few weeks. The hiking trail to the top of the mountain criss-crosses under the Banff Gondola’s cables.

Switchback

One of the many, many switchbacks on the way to the top of Sulphur Mountain in Banff National Park. The path links the upper hot springs to the top of the gondola — an elevation change of 655 metres. It takes two hours (theoretically) to complete a one-way trip.

Visitors who hike Sulphur Mountain in Banff National Park are warned to stay on the designated pathway to protect plants and wildlife in the area. Clearly, over the years, some people have not heeded the directive.
