  • Mount Rundle near Banff, Alberta

    I hiked up this mountain when I was much younger with legs of steel. It is a steep hike up the smooth side on the right (South side) with no dangers unless you have a fear of wide open spaces.

  • Olympic Oval

    Olypic Oval Calgary, Alberta

    I was at the University after a very valuable visit to the Running Injury Clinic and popped in to the oval for a few photos. It is a regular stop for the tourist groups. In the past I’ve skated on the oval a few times. It’s fun!

  • Hiking in Kananaskis

    Beautiful hike in Highwood Pass up to the col at the base of Mount Tyrwhitt. I did not ascend to the peak as that is a more serious undertaking, a scramble up loose exposed slopes. One thing for certain, this isn’t Kuwait!

    A map on Sportstracker is here. Note, click on the S button to see a satellite view or even the T to a topographic view which is uniqe.

  • Vaction is started!

    Greenland
    Nice view over greeland, but as I was cattle class I get an aisle seat and the plane was full so I could only peep out the small windows on the exits.

    Sunset
    And I arrived in Calgary. I went out to Weaselhead to view the sunset over the mountains but there are too many trees blocking the view. So this one is a combination.
