Our favorite trek up to the Grassi Lakes in August during the grand kids' annual visit.The narrow log bridge straddles the outlet stream which becomes a hanging water fall.

Crowfoot Iceberg or is it?
This is supposed to show part of the Crowfoot iceberg which feeds the Bow Lake.
Believe me, it is somewhere in that "general direction"!! (Most probably covered with snow.)
Our most recent converts
to the arts of SNOW-SHOEING.
The lonely free-standing hiking stick belongs to yours truly.
4,000,000 dollar home
My apologies!
This obviously does not capture the true "VALUE" of the show-home.
Num-Ti-Jah
Actually this is Bow Lake, one of the beautiful lakes within Banff National Park.
Num-Ti-Jah is the name of the LODGE nearby where we had lunch before the snow-shoeing.
In Stoney Plains, the name means pine marten.

Can't believe that the summit hiker has not been hiking for all this time!
OK, now you know that the X'mas present has been put to GOOD use.
Nai-nai/po-po's techniques need some brushing-up though.
You all recognize our good company.
