Since we couldn't ski at Sunshine without some serious skinning, we decided to go for a nice hike
on Canada Day with our friend Kurt. The goal was to get back to Canmore for their Canada Day parade,
but we got back to Calgary right as the parade was ending. Sorry Natalia! Here are Kurt and Natalia
at the start of the Old Goat Glacier Trail hike.

Kurt picked himself a flower and placed it in his chapeau. What a jolly gay fellow!

About half-way up the hike is a really pretty waterfall with a fair amount of snow still
covering a lot of the area. We were going to find a fair amount more snow though.

Did I mention that Natalia and I decided to hike in Chacos?? The snow was not our favourite.

We saw quite a few whistling marmots along this hike.

Somewhere back there is another marmot that Natalia is posing with.

I have to think that a lot of this is climbable. It's just a longer approach.

Kurt wanted to climb up onto this rock for some reason.
