Once or twice a year, I try to challenge myself to do a hike that's a bit beyond my usual limitations. Headwall Lakes is certainly that kind of hike: 14km and 457 meters of elevation gain, and half the trail is unofficial and unmaintained.
The Kananaskis Car Wash and Other Winter Wildlife
I love going snowshoeing in the winter. The snow muffles all sound, and changes the landscape. We see tracks in the snow, which gives us a good idea what variety of animals and birds are in the area, going about the business of surviving when there isn't much food around.
