What with all this hiking I haven’t posted much about #running much lately, but this morning was the Edmonton Marathon #halfmarathon #race wherein I had volunteered as a pace bunny for what eventually became the 2:30 finishers time. It started off super foggy this morning, caught a ride with Lucas, shook hands with the founder of the Running Room store, ran for almost exactly two and a half hours (off by 11 seconds) and have been zonked the rest of the day. Oof!

They’re not nearly ready to harvest but after three years the plum tree in my front yard is coming along nicely and looks like we’re gonna have about 40 pieces of fruit.

The view from way up high was worth the climb.
If you hadn’t noticed yet, I took quite a few amazing #panoramic photos on our #hike last weekend. Obviously it would be a terrible shame to not post these, or worse post them as itty bitty resized and elongated postage stamps. With that in mind I added some new code to this site that recognizes panoramic perspective pics and displays them in a little slider box instead of the normal carousel. If you see that little slider icon in the bottom right of the picture, you can slide it back and forth to see the whole panorama.

Waking up to this view even for a single day was an amazing thing. Try three mornings.

What a #hike view! We climbed to the very top, but the view was fantastic even part way up.

I sat atop a waterfall and painted this plein air #watercolour with water from the creek.

Now that I’m back home and actually have decent paints… a proper brush … few mosquitoes buzzing in my face.. and less rush, I want to try this screen again.

On our last full day backcountry camping in August, we decamped over Guinn’s Pass and down to the Galatea trail out. #hike

In August we spent three nights camping at Ribbon Lake, and spent a couple full days hiking, including one ascent up to the top of Guinn Peak. #hike

In August we hiked up through Ribbon Falls, up the headwall (a cliff-face accent with mountain ladders) and to our campsite at Ribbon Lake. #hike

Day four recap part 1. Our #hike out went over the Guinn Pass which is a major ascent out of the small valley where our camp had been. It took nearly 2 hours just to get to the top of the pass with heavy packs. And we still had 10k down to the car after.

The footage is not spectacular but in the moment I was more concerned with safety. We were 12km into the backcountry here, camping for 3 nights and this was a few minutes from camp. This black #bear had been hanging around and even came into camp once while we were there. A little surreal. #hike #wildlife

A good #hike meal? We dehydrated a bunch of chili and then rehydrated it back up on the mountain.

Day two recap, part 2. A long day #hike up the pass and onto the peak was a preview for our way home a few days later. It was a slog up to the top of the pass but the views were fantastic.
