Our first expedition as a big group was a short hike (2-3km) down the road from our campspot. We went to the HooDoos...tall columns of dirt (sand & rock) that are slowly eroding away.
It seemed the trail itself was eroding away. It was the most dangerous trail we went on during our visit to Banff. There was lots of gravely rocks to slip on, going down very steep slippery inclines, nothing secure to hold...Auntie MaryLea and I decided to stop once we arrived at the HooDoos.
It was a beautiful day, and we were really enjoying the view of the crystal clear Bow River and the Banff Springs Hotel in the distance. We could see Sulphur Mountain, Tunnel Mountain, and others...
We watched as Tommy bravely guided Reeve and Kyle down the trail following Austin, Elena, and Gord. Austin, Elena, and Gord all walked over to this little grassy sand island...you can see Gord in this picture.
We had a lot of fun talking and enjoying each other's company.
