On Falls Lookout Ridge

A hike in the Alberta Rockies

There's a network of these old fire lookouts along the mountain range. I don't think they've seen use in over a decade.

 The helipad 

Beautiful weather!

A nicely eroded section of creek bed

 This tree endured a savage beating from a mudslide. Half of its bark is still there and it is still trying.

The wildflowers are awesome...

The legendary waterfall in the main basin

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.

 

Conkle Lake

 We drove out to Conkle Lake, near Rock Creek, BC. On the way we saw some wildflowers
