  • Highway 3

    This was the first time we’ve taken HWY 3 all the way home from Lethbridge. Unfortunately it was very smoky due to several active fires and we rushed home to try to avoid any road closures. We did get some fruit along the way, but will have to try again another time. Here’s Manning Park.

    The sun was red in the sky at 5PM.

    We could see the Hope fire as we approached on the highway and this was where we were concerned about getting stuck.

    While it was burning uncontrolled, it was far enough up the mountain and away from the highway that it wasn’t a concern just yet.

    What we did learn is that taking photos with a long lens out the front window of a car as we drive 110 km/hr does not work particularly well the closer you get and with any curves.


  • Coleman

    As we headed back home we stopped at the entrance to the Rocky Mountains just past Frank in Coleman. We did a quick walk up an ATV trail to a waterfall. You may have to search for a bit, but there was indeed a waterfall there.

    Facing the other direction you could see the mountains on the horizon.

    And as the sunset we prepared for a very long drive ahead.
