Kassie's Weekend in Waterton!

A few months ago Kassie asked me to take her riding in Waterton! Of course I was more than happy to accomodate, so Saturday July 12, 2014 was set aside for our adventure!



 Kassie came to the farm Friday with James and Deedee.

We played up at Red Rock Canyon. 

We drove up to Cameron Lake and we saw a bear! (Can't prove that one as he boogied into the trees too fast for my camera!)






 We saw this bear on the way up to Red Rock Canyon. She crossed the road right in front of our car.







This is my picture of the bear and her cub!





This is Kassie's picture of the bear and her cub!
He is so cute!
 AND, this is the bear that we saw on the way into the townsite for ice cream!

That was a 3 bear trip!
Friday was a good day!


Now for the Adventure on horse back!
Dixie and Winner leading the way to Goat Lake! (That was our original plan).
Clear blue sky, mountains, green everywhere and warm!

Perfect!!!!



Tiffany joined Kassie and I for our Waterton Adventure!

A Tiffy selfie as we get started.

Kassie is riding Shasta!



 We rode about an hour and then headed up the trail to Goat Lake. That was a very steep trail and the horses worked hard for us.  Tiffy is riding Tiffy's Lucky Wrangler. 



 This is the point at which we decided that it was too much for us and the horses to continue on. A very steep, narrow trail, and the horses would be scrambling on the rock. We wondered if we would get turned around!



See the trail to the left of Winner's nose, heading up to the waterfall? The lake is just up there, we were about 1/2 km from our goal, but we didn't want any extreme adventure!


We didn't make it to Goat Lake so plan B, let's go to Twin Lakes!

Oh I love it in the Mountains!

The girls having fun!

I love theses pictures!




 Heading towards the end of a Perfect Day with my niece's! 

What makes you think Kassie is a bit sore from a day in the saddle?
