Hiking with the Whānau

The week before my bro's wedding was taken up with numerous hiking trips in the Rockies. Trip 1 was the first part of my brothers stag, a hike up Forgetmenot Ridge. It was a nice gentle 700 vertical meter slog with stunning views. Hike 2 was a more leisurely stroll around Moraine Lake and hike 3 was a return trip to Chester Lake, although this time there was less snow about.

I think after all the hiking my folks were ready to return to the flat lands of D'field.
