Exploring Calgary and the Rockies: A Memorable Trip

This past week Sarah and I flew to Calgary. We then spent five days touring around the Rockies. We also visited the youngest of the adult kids. They are working at a ski resort out there.

Sarah did some skiing, but mostly we did a lot of walking. We had some beautiful hikes in the snow.

Here’s what that looks like on my Google Fit report.

A dashboard showing daily goals achieved over the last 7 days, with a total of 7 out of 7 marked as completed. Each day of the week (M, T, W, T, F, S, S) features a circular icon indicating goal progress.

But it looks much better in pictures.

Here we are walking on one of the trails at the Nordic Centre at Panorama Ski Resort, where Miles is working.

Scenic view of mountains and a river, with snow-covered rocks and evergreen trees in the foreground under a cloudy sky.

A snow-covered path winding through a forest of tall pine and aspen trees under a partly cloudy sky.

Here we are walking with a friend’s adult kid who is living outside Canmore. We had a great dog hike with her and with Sneetches, a retired sled dog.

And here’s Cheddar and me on our first day back. It was our first double-digit hike–sunny, windy, wet, and so much melting ice and snow. I’m excited about after-work dog walks now that the evening light is back, thanks to the time change.
