A nice walk

In every walk with nature 

one receives far more than he seeks.

We slept late and decided to just spend the day in town. We headed down the walking trail; it's about a mile to town. The weather was about 65 degrees with lots of sun. We put our jackets in our carry all bag after 10-15 minutes. The sun was quite warm.

Just before we crossed the roundabout, a fellow from Yorkshire, England, asked us for directions to town. I had a little map and after we tried to decipher it, he decided to come along. We walked together for quite a while. He was interesting and we enjoyed his company.

The scenery was fantastic along the walking path.

When we got into town, we saw this.

This old school bus seems to be a popular ice cream spot.

Our first stop was The Sugar Pine Company, the only quilt shop in town. The building was getting a new roof so I didn't get an outside photo. I loved this hanging above the stairwell. I found a couple pieces of fabric but I can't show them yet.

After lunch we came across this. 

A couple young guys working at the bike shop asked where we were from and what we were doing today. I asked what we should do this week. They had some great suggestions; some we hadn't considered. I told them I'd talk with Canmore Tourism about compensating them.😉 They were fun to talk with.

We headed back home on the boardwalk on the other side of Spring Creek.

We crossed Spring Creek on a bridge and retraced our steps on the walking path.

Three Sisters Mountain peaks are Faith, Charity, and Hope.

When we arrived home, I took a picture of our balcony. It is that whole space on the 2nd floor. We took a chance on this rental; it was a new listing with no reviews. It is now listed for well over $150 a night more than we paid! 

It was late afternoon when we arrived home and we chose to  rest. We were still tired from yesterday - we had more steps yesterday than any day on this trip along with a 4+ hour car trip. Tomorrow we'll be out and about again.
