70 Buck Loop

I'm a bit behind in my blogging, but thought I'd share a few photos. A bunch of us went snowshoeing back on Jan. 9 (the day before I had to head to Houston for 3 weeks of training). We chose 70 Buck Loop, one of the more obscure trails in upper Kananaskis. We were fortunate to have enough snow and got to break fresh trail the whole way! I forgot to save the track, but it was relatively easy. Here's Tom, Uma, Breanna, and James and the trailhead.

The snow was pretty bare towards the top of the ridge... and it was windy up there too.

Kind of lost the trail at this point... and Uma was starting to shiver and cry.

I bundled here up in my wind breaker and down vest to warm her up (I took this shot after we headed back down, not while she was freezing at the top!). She warmed pretty quickly once we got out of the wind and moving again.

Even though we didn't quite get over the top of the ridge it was still pretty scenic. The hill directly ahead is Eagle Hill (biked in previous blogs).
