View from the top

5kms in a steep uphill climb is a great way to get back in hockey shape!

The view from the top was stunning. It's too bad I couldn't get it all
on camera. We saw more animals on the way back. So far we have seen
cariboos, bighorn sheep and a white tail deer. It's a bit creepy how
unafraid of humans they are.

We saw some weird birds too. I think they were Clark's nutcrackers and
stellar's jay. We also saw some black billed magpies. Oh and the
squirrels around here are different too. They look a bit like baby
groundhogs but with a tail. :) They are called Columbia Ground
Squirrels.

Anyhow We finished the hike in 3.5 hours which is pretty good. We are
absolutely starving and looking forward to relax around the campfire
tonight.

Have a good weekend everyone!
