The Rainbow

At the point where I was getting trail fatigue ...

Bald Hills Trail

Lake Maligne

Horse Trekking

Today we spent the afternoon trekking through the mountains & forests on these lovely creatures. Paul got the biggest horse of the lot, a huge stallion called Ace, pictured here on the first photo. My horse, Buzzly, was slightly smaller & naughtier than Paul's. He kept wandering off into the bushes to have a little snack. I soon whipped him into shape though. Well, almost. We used muscles that we didn't know he had & are feeling a bit sore now.

Marmot Heaven

There are marmots everywhere on the trail. Along with the ones munching away on the wildflowers below there are more sitting on the rocks above just keeping an eye on us.

Wildlife on the Trail

The trail is chock full of wildlife including a ptarmigan (the speckled, grey bird), some pikas (the grey, furry rodents) & a strange, unidentified, hairy, grey-whiskered mammal. ; )

Heading Up the Mountain

Phew! That was a long way up. No cups of tea waiting for us this time. I suppose we could make ice pops?!
