October 17, 2021 - Jumpingpound Summit Trail, Kananaskis

We got a call earlier this week from our very good friends in Fort Mac that they were going to be in town for a little getaway, and they wanted to go on a hike together.  It would be a great treat for us to see them, and even better that we could all spend some time outside together.
The forecast earlier in the week did not look great but we were blessed with a gorgeous, sunny, 17 C fall day.  We got to the trailhead around 1:00 and headed up.  I have no idea what the pace was like or if it strenuous or not, as we all had a great time catching up the whole way.

Half Way Up - First View

The summit was very windy, so after a few quick pictures we headed back down a bit lower for a sheltered snack break.

The walk down went as quickly as the walk up with some good laughs and reminiscing.  After a quick hot tub to soak our old bones and a little re-hydration we went to the Saloon in Bragg Creek for dinner.  It was an amazing afternoon with two amazing friends, and we are looking forward to our next visit together!
