Taking advantage of a high pressure system with lots of clear, sunny weather, yesterday morning we opted to hike up London Ridge. We'd spent a bit of time trying to find the trailhead. When you know where to look, it's so obvious it's embarassing! The hike is rather boring for the first half but once we got above the treeline, had fabulous views. The change of the season is very evident with the blueberry plants putting on a show of red. The reassuring thing about getting to the top of this ridge is that yes, I can still climb 1100m (and get down!) and I could recognize so many landmarks from our hiking this summer. It was lovely to stand up there and see all the places that we got to know during the hiking season this year. It didn't hurt to have skies that reminded me of prairie skies, too. We really could see "clear to the horizon".
