Write Up:As it was the first national day of reconciliation "we acknowledged
that we live, work and play on the traditional territories of the
Blackfoot Confederacy (Siksika, Kainai, Piikani), the Tsuut’ina, the
Îyâxe Nakoda Nations, the Métis Nation (Region 3), and all people who
make their homes in the Treaty 7 region of Southern Alberta."
Given how windy the drive out to Highwood junction was we weren't sure
how much of our hike we would be able to check out but our trail was
sheltered from the worst gusts until two of us checked out the view at
the north top! This was as far as we went but we now have a much
better idea of the whole hike around the horseshoe. The western
larches were in abundance but now turning golden and dropping their
needles - a week earlier, and some sunshine, would have seen them at
their most magnificent. We all enjoyed our day out though, especially
the Scottish shortbread shared by Simon and Fiona when we got back to
our vehicles :-)
