Whoa busy, been 2 weeks since my spectacular hike and only getting to posting about it now.
My work-out / hiking buddy and I spent a spectacular weekend at a charming, rustic place called Beaver foot Lodge and did a stunning hike in the area to Wapta Falls. We also did Emerald Lake (aborted due to rain), and a little jaunt around Lake Minnewanka just outside Banff.

| Lots of rain in the area made for a muddy hike |
 |
| The spectacular Wapta Falls ... so worth the climb - just breathtaking |

| Photoshop couldn't even replicate these colours ... nature at its full glory best |
 |
| We made it! Took a lot of time to sit at the top and just take it in |
 |
| Lots of downed trees |
 |
| Made for a great aerobic workout |
 |
| Officially a hiker :) |

Such a great weekend. I am loving the lifestyle of getting out and being active, at the same time discovering the stunning scenery in this country.
Tomorrow I am hoping to update on weight loss and fitness goals.
Congrats on being a hiker and the scenery really is amazing!
