Grotto Canyon

April 17, 2015

This trip would be my Walk For Wildlife (+Canadian Wildlife Federation) hike of the year!  I was excited for many reasons, one in particular for the CWF's Species At Risk, and as this would be the first family trip for my girlfriend and I to bring along our new puppy Loki.  The real good news is he was great on camera, as a camera and even better at keeping to the trails with me.

There will hopefully be more trips with him in the future.

Jura Canyon Falls

April 17, 2015

Though I might be optimistic here, I do believe that there lies a waterfall in and along the Jura Canyon, even though the trail may veer away from the location of a potential waterfall. Judging by the topography of the creek, it seems highly likely that a waterfall may tumble along the ridge of the mountain.

On this trip the flow of the water hasn't picked up more than a trickle, and as a result I never spent much time investigating.  I will return to the East of the hamlet of Exshaw in the future when a regular amount of water is flowing from the mountain tops.

Kananaskis Dam & Falls

April 17, 2015

I took a day off to attempt carving out new territory in the North Bow (+AlbertaParks), and thought perhaps a trail between Kananaskis Dam and Horseshoe Falls would be a great start.  These plans would be spoiled as it appears that all roads and paths that exist around this area are closed and restricted private land.

I will need to do more research and look into a parking and path along this river that doesn't threat to shoot on sight.  Until then I've managed to get shots of the Kananaskis Dam.
