Prairie View Trail

Way back in mid-March Breanna, Tom, Uma, and I decided to get an early start on the hiking season and head up Prairie View Trail from the Barrier Lake parking lot. This trail is only ~ 5km round-trip and ~500 m elevation gain - so a good starter! The wind blowing of Barrier Lake was pretty frigid, but fortunately only lasted until we made it across the dam and into the trees.
Keep in mind this is an over-due post and back in March there was still a bit of snow on the ground.... but not as much as May this year!
Tom's beard hadn't fully recovered at this point either...View from near the top of Prairie View (we still wandered up to the top of the rocks on the right... the web-site is just being difficult and not letting me load the pic I took up there).
I just liked this picture of B...
