Keystone

 An overnight hiking trip on the Keystone Trail North of Revelstoke, BC


The wildflowers are awesome...

The legendary waterfall in the main basin

Viewed from above
The area is full of creeks, lakes and meadows.



Lots of wildflowers, even blue ones...
And some nice peaks, too...





Very nice scenery, and a reasonable, moderate hike to get there.

The Racing of the Dirtbikes

Two days of roaring dirt bikes


The first day was warm and dusty












The second day was a fine contrast!

Little people's bikes are not very powerful. Sometimes they could barely move in the mud.



There were a handful of mishaps. I don't think anyone got seriously hurt.
