Fall in Kananaskis Country

Getting ready to head south for the winter we decided to take in some fall colors in Kananaskis country in the Rocky Mountains about 60 miles west of Okotoks. On our way we discovered some mountain sheep trying to cross the road in front of us. There was about 20 of them in total and we did not seem to be disturbing them at all. They pretty much do want they want up in this country as they are protected by the parks systems.

We also went to a couple of lakes that are nestled in the Rockies and the scenery in this area was absolutely spectacular. This was like a picture postcard moment, the water was still and the mountains had a slight dusting of snow on the peaks, the temperature was in the mid 60 degree F range and not a stitch of wind. As in the picture below  we  also managed to catch a glimpse of a man enjoying a canoe ride across the lake.

On October 26th we will be leaving all this and heading south to our resort in Mesa, Arizona to soak up some rays and replenish our tans once again.
