Alberta Adventures

We wake up cosy in our sleeping bags with the morning light shining through our teepee.  So sweet.  It’s still smoky, but it doesn’t bother us.   We wake and start the day with our classic camping breakfast - cream cheese and ginger stuffed French toast with maple sausages.  We pack up and stop off at the new camper registration building to use their new hot showers before heading back to the interpretive Center.  




They use as as guinea pigs for a new activity they are offering and we take a trip in a York boat on a trailer around the site.  Kai get some more VR time in, we visit the Metis trapper cabins and the First Nations tent were they are working with porcupine quills.  We take off around noon for our next destination the sunflower maze.  







The sunflower maze was jut getting going, so the blooms weren’t as spectacular as we had imagined.  The corn maze was way higher and a little trickier to figure out.  We stopped at the u-pick veggie pactch and visited the pig, miniature horse, Goat and chickens as well.  






We then started our travels to the Kananaskis. We stopped near Sarcee trail in Calgary to stock up on groceries and stopped in Goodwill as well.  Then we drove and drove to get up into the mountains.  Even though it was super smoky it was still really impressive.  Peaks pokes through the smoke as we drove in. 


This guy welcomed us.  We saw an interpretive sign as we drove in and decided we would go set up our tent fast in time to hit the show at 8pm. Boy we were sure glad we did.  We were both totally impressed with such a great show with singing, dancing and costumes. 



We were happy to head back for the first night in our tent.  The site is right beside a creek so we will get to fall asleep and wake to the sound of water.
