Canmore

Just hanging out in Canmore, up on Douglas Fir Bench, which is part of Silvertip. A nice panoramic view of the valley and the range, and the chalet is warm and cozy. Did a couple of small hikes and a trail run, checked out some local hoodoos, came across a herd of elk  and had our chalet neighbour warn me and our dog, Rex, about cougars. It seems that the news we watched the other day was about the same 2 cougars that came up on their back deck and took their dog. A traumatic event, particularly for their kids, so good to be reminded that despite being in an urban setting, this is still wild country.




Sled fun on the local toboggan run



What a great backdrop for a town

Rex loves the Rocky Mountains



Who wouldn't love looking at this everyday?
