Good evening!
I was pretty beat after my hike up Sulfur Mountain yesterday but decided to go for a short walk around town this evening, this turned into a short hike up the Bow River to Bow falls. I just couldn’t resist. By the way the Sulfur Mountain does actually smell like sulfur(rotten eggs), which has something to do with the hot springs, I’m sure.
The Bow River was named because the natives used to collect Douglas fir saplings from it’s banks for their bows. The trail was really easy and only 1.5km, so it was a good hike to do after Sulfur Mountain. The falls were very beautiful, as you can see from the photos posted. The only other interesting thing that happened on the hike was my deer sightings. I saw three and got a good shot of one trying to climb down a pretty steep hill, I named him Dan. The other two were sleeping on the Golf Course near the hotel.
I'll be in orientation/working for the rest of the week so not sure how much I'll be posting.
I like Dan's determination. I think that you should bring him back to Ottawa.
ReplyDeleteYes, bring Dan back to Ottawa...! only Luke and Mary think they may be Elk you're seeing? or are they mountain deer???
ReplyDeleteInteresting about the natives collecting fir saplings for their bows along there.
again, beautiful falls!
Hope orientation is going well...and wonder what the uniform is like???? cute?
Glad you are getting some wildlife sightings in. The town will be overrun with Elk soon, and they can be aggressive. I saw one attack I coyote once. I wish I had kept a blog when I was out there.
