Weekend Getaway...

There is something about mountain air

 and mountain scenery 

that revitalizes you!

This weekend we went out to the mountains.... 

took a walk to the Hoodoo's...

Strange name don't you think??

Strange name for strange looking rocks...

As far as I can find out...
they don't know where the name came from....

Do you have any ideas??

Gotta love that mountain air...

This weekend we travelled beside the Trans Canada Highway -

'The Banff Legacy Trail'

Three of our grandkids . . .

And daughter...

Biked close to 50 km and enjoyed the beautiful mountain scenery...

Days spend like this are ....

"Priceless"

Canadian Rockies

Hubby and I went on a little road trip. So I hope you don't mind...but I'll give you a little tour.

We took the little Miata..it is so wonderful to be able to smell the pines, and see the tops of the mountains with the roof down. Plus we were able to take pictures as we travelled...

Praire Meets Mountains

More snow than normal for this time of the year!

I love the colour of the rivers...

We passed numerous lakes and rivers.

Narrow roads...

Lots of rock...

Lots of waterfalls down the mountain side.
They were hard to capture driving by.
Some sprayed right onto the road.

A new part the highway. Driving thru a mountain.

The beauty of the rockies never cease to amaze me.
 I have taken this drive at least once a year for probably 40 years...
and I still am amazed at the beauty!!
