We got up and packed up our camping gear so we could catch the first bus out at 9:30. We spent the night in Calgary before driving home the next day. East of Swift Current, a poor mom duck and her little ones were trapped in the middle of the highway, unable to cross. She was sitting right down on the middle line with her ducklings sitting as well. We watched cars swerve past them in our rear view mirror. Unfortunately she was crossing too close to Swift Current before the traffic tends to spread out, we hope she made it across.
This was such a great hiking trip with amazing mountain views. The Iceline is incredible and the Lake O’Hara region is the most beautiful place we have ever been.
We walk the prairie a lot and have become so accustomed to the sky, we don't really appreciate it. After spending some time in the mountains, which we truly love, we really took note of the prairie sky on the drive home, beautiful.

The Prairies: all about the sky
At Sage Hill, a number of the people from away became smitten with our skies. I decided that I, too, take them for granted.
