Kananaskis

Beautiful Bare Mountaintops

 September 13-20 found us at the Delta Hotel in Kananaskis.  The view from our hotel  window was beautiful...lovely sunshine and bright blue sky with white fluffy clouds.  Overnight, the sky became more cloudy and snow fell topping all the mountains with a sparkly white cap. We had taken enough
for our usual breakfast, but went out somewhere for an early dinner or late lunch....hotel meals were very expensive.  We visited Canmore and Golden and also went to help Doreen in Strathmore while we were there.

    

In 2002 with the then Prime Minister Jean Chretien, the G8 Summit was held at the Delta Kananaskis.  A plaque and water feature memorialize their visit.
This was our one land week following the Alaskan Cruise  we took in 2014.  We have another week coming in 2016.
We boarded the dogs at E & E in Stony Plain...they do not do well boarded...separation anxiety.
On our last day, we took a longer hike along the Kananaskis River where we could see the flood damage from the Spring of 2012.  Ryan was deployed to the area to help with rescues and rebuilds.  A beautiful area!
