The Swing I

Muleshoe - This short nature trail takes you through a stand of aspens, past a group of ancient Douglas firs with their corrugated bark, to a pleasant viewpoint. The grade is easy-to-moderate as far as the hiking sign and rest bench where the man-made trail ends....
To a swing!!!

Gorgeous Daylen telling me to get my a... on the swing - which I did not do.

Mt. Fairview

The other day on my day off I decided to go wild and climb Mt. Fair view.
Doesn't that looks like a dog-cloud?! Woof!
Anyway just 500m to the top. But I could not do it. I had to turn around.

The Bow valley from the top.

Wow! I love being in the Rockies!


Mt. Temple. With glacier on top.


Mt. Victoria. Invisible Lake Louise.


Can't get enough of it.


Steep and without secured path.


Deep blue is the distance. Like an ocean or the Blue Mountains close to Sydney.



What a gorgeous sky!


Cute!

Mt. Fairview II

A hoary Marmot!
The hoary marmot (Marmota caligata) is a species of marmot that inhabits the mountains of northwest North America. Hoary marmots live near the tree line on slopes with grasses and forbs to eat and rocky areas for cover. It is the largest North American ground squirrel and is often nicknamed "the whistler" for its high-pitched warning issued to alert other members of the colony to possible danger. The animals are sometimes called "whistle pigs." The "hoary" in their name refers to the silver-grey fur on their shoulders and upper back; the remainder of the upper parts are mainly covered in reddish brown fur. The underparts are greyish. They have a white patch on the muzzle and black feet and lower legs.

I could go quite close and he did not seem to mind at all.
