Plateau Mountain

This was where the little Golden-mantled Ground Squirrel in my previous photo lived : ) The outcrop and pile of rocks continued a short way off the top right corner of my photo. I don't know if its burrow started within the pile of rocks or else close by, but it certainly has a beautiful area to call "home". Plateau Mountain is a great place, but, then, I'm sure all the peaks and valleys of Kananaskis and the Rocky Mountains hold similar beauty. It's so funny, because when I look at a photo like this, I wonder how on earth I ever climbed so high, though our pace is extremely slow, otherwise I wouldn't be able to do it! Even so, it takes my poor joints a couple of days to recover : )
