Another day, another amazing hike

Everyone here keeps on telling us that summer in Calgary is very short, so we have been trying to make the most of it. Last weekends excursion was the extended version of Black Prince Cirque. The usual route is a brisk stroll around a scenic lake, while the extended version takes a less traveled route up into a hanging valley (cirque).

Scenic lake

The remnants of a couple avalanches spiced up the hike, certainly never got those hiking in Oz, heck we were lucky if we could find water in Oz.

The cirque

Another scenic lake, although much nicer than the first.

Much like the winter in Australia is by far the best time, but is too short by far.
