Rocky Mountain House

Recently took a trip to Rocky Mountain House
and the Nordegg area of Alberta. What a
beautiful spot! Here are a few pictures and
videos from our camping trip last weekend.

We stayed at a Provincial campground, Crimson
Lake. The campground was very well kept and
had carts circulating regularly selling wood. Wood
was $5 a bundle, not bad. Showers were $2 each,
a bit steep but they were very clean and lasted
quite a while. Only 3 showers Men/Women, but
not overly busy.


This deer was a regular visitor to our campground.



He came very close at times.



Our neighbors tried to meet him but he oblivious
to their attempts.



He just ignores them and walks away....

Another regular visitor...



We were quite impressed by the design of this fire pit.
The very top part was perfect for resting your 'fire poker'.
The middle section was a grate which you could slide
over the fire. We are avid campers and have never
seen this design, so we were pretty impressed.
It doesn't take much.

They also had a great swimming/boating spot.
Sandy beach, lots of room.



We went hiking a bit, the mountains were amazing.




Some of the areas we hiked in were quite steep.





We then headed off to Crescent Falls, an
absolutely breath taking spot.







There were a few Asian tourists there who kept
asking hubby to take group shots of them. He
didn't mind though.

You can see her eyeing hubby up here, wondering
if she should ask him.

The girls were quite brave sitting on the edge of
the waterfalls. The boys did not join them.



And some very brave folks climbed down the
side to get to the bottom pool.



Hubby and I had been hiking for an hour or so in
temperatures hovering around 30C. The crystal
cold waters of the falls were a welcome relief.
The power of the water was quite surprising.
