Monday Sept. 27, 2010 Rockies Day Trip






On Monday B. and I decided to take a day trip into the Rockies, and on T and A's recommendations, chose to go to Canmore then back to Kananaskis and down the Kananaskis Trail (route 40), the long loop back to Calgary. The day was perfect - clear blue sky with just a few clouds.

First we went to Canmore to the Sugar Pine Quilt Co. to pick out some quilting fabric, and had lunch at Communitea Cafe, which was relaxed and delicious. Then back into the truck and down the Kananaskis Trail which follows first a valley, then up over Highwood Pass (7239 feet) through the Rockies. Taking photos of the Rockies is always a pleasure, but the views were especially lovely with all the hardwood trees in their autumn yellows. They contrasted beautifully with the tall, dark green evergreens on the mountains. We recommend this trip to mountain lovers everywhere, especially in the fall.
