Got in a hike at Chester Lake loop. A dusting of snow which makes the mountains look amazing.

Hidden Lake didn’t disappoint. 🏔️
13 km through Peter Lougheed Provincial Park — waterfalls, pretty mountain views, a moose crossing the road… and then we discovered we were hiking through a bear travel corridor. 😳🐻
Hidden Lake is pretty interesting too. It doesn’t have a normal surface outlet — much of the water disappears underground through the surrounding rock, which is one reason the lake can change so much during the season.

Hiked Cirque beneath Mount Arethusa today. We dodged a ram and had so much rain we could have used an Arc. Good thing I Noah guy... Dad joke lol

Beautiful hike to Elbow Lake, Kananaskis.
Love the Ray-Bans Meta Glasses for getting these shots. Hoping that there are no bears named Meta as I stumble around saying "hey Meta take picture" lmao. Also check out the eye in the clouds in the first picture- am I crazy? Thats an eye right?

Hiked Mount Lipsett yesterday —14.5 km with 719 metres of elevation gain. The wildflowers, unusual rock formations and views from the ridge were beautiful.
Afterward, I discovered a strange story connected to the area. In 1967, three men near the Highwood Ranger Station reported seeing a silent metallic object descend toward the trees. They claimed it hovered, dropped something smaller into the wilderness and then disappeared at high speed. Two photographs were taken and the incident was investigated, but never conclusively explained. Last picture.

Great hike at King Creek Ridge.
Internet says "mostly famous for its grueling 720-meter elevation gain, hiking forums track unsettling experiences in the surrounding Kananaskis trails. Backpackers have woken up to hundreds of boot prints circling their tents or reported the sensation of being intensely watched by dark, unmoving human silhouettes standing on gravel paths near the trailheads" 😱

Super blessed 🙌 to have my Daughter with me on the hike ❤️

Great Hike at Mount Bryant yesterday(Scary parts according to google )include "aggressive grizzly bear activity, severe fall and rockfall risks on steep mountain slopes, and remote, rugged backcountry trail conditions". We survived 🙌

Great hike at Hell's Ridge - Legend says that Hell’s Ridge was named after a local rancher who had “a hell of a time rounding up his cattle” on the slopes of this ridge. After seeing this tree; there may be another reason. Happy Trekking ✌
