Monday, I went to AA - Alps Alturas, over in the north Slocan Valley area. It reminded me what a beautiful hike this is - a short walk through the forest where the trail opens into a lovely meadow. It was too late for much in the way of flowers and this picture shows the smattering of snow that fell in the high alpine at the end of August. This is one Kootenay walk with a really GOOD trail all the way, not too much elevation gain, and fantastic views. I'd highly recommend it as one of the best hikes in the Kootenays - you don't really have to be fit to do this one. The fact that abundant huckleberries were available to pick near the trailhead didn't hurt either. Another perfect day exploring the Kootenays - knowing that my former colleagues were back to work in Saskatoon made it all the better:)
