Spray River Valley

This is the west side of Mount Rundle as seen from the Spray River Valley.  It was taken on a nice hike out of Banff, a plus or minus 12 km round trip that follows the Spray River.  You can walk or bike all the way to Canmore if you keep going south.  Elevation changes are moderate, only 100+ meters or so but you climb up and back down on each side of the river.

We didn't see much wildlife on this walk although the first grizzly was spotted last week in Banff National Park.  There was still ice and snow on the trail and YakTrax were in order.
