  Short hike/scramble in Oct.  Windy. Pictures here Kidd Lookout   Full screen slide is best.

Drove down to Waterton for a great bike and hike on the last warm day of the year with Dave Salahub and Brian and Elaine Hunter. Went up the well constructed hike trail versus Andrew’s scramble route as the scramble to scree ratio looked way too low.  Beautiful day – great views.  Nachos and beer at Twin [...]

Trip with Kevin P and Dave S.  This was a plan B or C as we decided not to cross the river for Skogan and we were looking for something that we all had not done given the time, etc.  We drove to Nakiska and walked the service road around the right side of the [...]

Waterton Monday Sept 6/2010 – forecast was wrong – snow on the ground and rained and snowed on and off all day.  Would be easy scenic hike on nice day. Good execise – ignored overgrown cutline which would have been very wet thrash and followed trail into forum lake and up to ridge west of [...]

Road trip to Black Hills SD.  Visited Custers Battlefield and Devil’s Tower on way down. Black Hills are centered around an igneous uplift and are higher than anything  else east of the rockies. Hard rock with large quartz and gold seams – great history - native american, wild west, gold rushes, and lots of great attractions.  We saw re-enacted [...]

  Kevin, Aspen and I were looking for an easy snow free day which is hard to get this spring.   We decided on Gunnery becasue Kevin had looked at it on Sat as he and Wietse came back from a waist deep wallowing exercise on Pasque.  Gunnery is just on the North side of the road [...]

I will let Kevin Papke tell this story. His posts from the RMB Outdoor Forum With Bill Kerr and Dave Salahub we adventurous souls drove away south for a garrentee’d target. A minor peak at the south end of the Livingston Range. After almost 3 hrs drive from home we finally left the car at [...]

Good shoulder season trip with Wietse, Vern and Kelly. Would not want much more snow than this but worked out okay despite full on snow bizzard at the summit.  Powderface trail closes on Dec 1 so one of the last weekends to try this.   RT was 8.5 hrs and about 21 km and about 1100 [...]

The shortening days and a week of cloudy overcast weather made me crave some outdoor mountain time. Getting up to go to work in the dark doesn’t feel good and even morning workouts and playing hockey 3 times a week does not fulfil the need to exercise outdoors.   I managed to crank off a couple hours of skiing at Canada Olympic [...]

Hiked up to base of Gap with a buddy.  Explored on the rock but too loose and exposed for a hiker. Tried out a new camera – Olympus 565UZ.  My friends with DSLR’s will howl but I have owned top quality SLRs and I am not a good photographer so the extra capability is wasted [...]
