Sept 3rd to Sept 20th 2014

We started this trip with a stay at Manning Park with the Ridge Meadows Outdoor Club at their annual summer camp. We hiked our legs out for 4 days.

Following that we had arranged to meet my sister Dianne and husband at Waterton Lakes for a few days. We arrived to good weather but that changed almost immediately as we received about a foot of snow over the next couple days.

When the roads cleared up we followed them back to Calgary and then we headed to Banff, a visit with Iva in Nacusp and then spent a couple days in Kelowna before heading home.
