Bow Valley Provincial Park

A handful of us hiked this area all day yesterday and, as you can see, we were blessed with glorious weather. Bow Valley Provincial Park is a wonderful wetland area along the very eastern edge of the Rocky Mountains, and is known for it's great variety of wildflowers. The mountain peak in the centre of the photo is Mount Yamnuska, a popular ridge with rock climbers. Got my car back this afternoon and am now $836 poorer! So relieved to have it back in time to go and buy much-needed food ready for a strenuous hike tomorrow. Temperatures are supposed to hit 31C tomorrow, so I know the hike is going to be really tough going, especially as I hate the heat. However, there will be some new plants up there that I have never seen before, so I HAVE to go : )
