Ha Ling Peak and Waterfall

Uploaded: September 28, 2012

Description

Canmore Alberta. This hike is right in the city. You have a choice at a fork: "easy" which follows a service road or "less easy" which isn't. There are steep steps and some scrambling and elevation gain...so I'd say Moderate not "less easy" (LOL). The destination are the Grassi Lakes named after an engineer who developed the trail....it was wonderful!!!!

Exif: F Number: 5, Exposure Bias Value: -2.00, ExposureTime: 1/200 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 400, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 24.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 5D Mark II

Hi Tammy...thank you....I know..with my big feet & hiking boots I'm a wonder to behold on those trails...I do use hiking poles and they have saved me from more than one fall. We took the "easy" trail back down after exploring the lakes above. The temps in the morning are high 60's here so there is hope! #10345400

Thank you so much Neal & Nadia....I now know what my husband meant when he said I had to come here at least once....he was right. He had been to Banff & Jasper many years ago before we met and had such wonderful memories of the place...now we both do! #10347187
