Ha Ling Peak and Waterfall
Uploaded: September 28, 2012
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!!!!

Wonderful Capture!! Waterfall and Peak, Patricia~! #1488959Patricia A. Casey September 28, 2012
Thanks again, Millieanne....The Canadian Rockies just don't quit giving wonderful scenes. Truly a photographers' paradise! #10344881Tammy Espino September 28, 2012
Beautiful capture!! I hate those rock scrambling hikes:) Still hot in Vegas, ugh. Hopefully cooler by next month! #10345308Patricia A. Casey September 28, 2012
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! #10345400Thomas E. Hinds September 28, 2012
Wonderful composition and detail, Patricia! What a place to behold! #10345506Terry Cervi September 28, 2012
Sounds like a great time, Patricia. And what a pretty shot! #10345713Patricia A. Casey September 29, 2012
Thanks so much Thomas & Terry....it was a magnificent fiew....The peak is astounding....you really can't capture in photos....just a glimpse of its size. There is a trail to get to that peak...but not this time with a bum knee..who knows what the next trip will bring! Have a glorious day! #10346223Neal D. Hatcher September 29, 2012
Beautiful capture-What a beautiful area #10346825Nadia Paul September 29, 2012
It looks breathtaking Patricia, and you have captured it so beautifully! #10347030Patricia A. Casey September 30, 2012
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! #10347187Ken Beatty October 25, 2012
