Yesterday we went rafting along the Bow River from Bow Falls to the town of Canmore right outside the Park. It was a beautiful day to be on the water and look at the mountains. We learned that the Bow area was named by the first peoples because it was a good place to find the willow used to make bows.
We are very lucky to be here during the wildflower bloom. The wild roses are everywhere, as are tiny strawberries, buttercups, potentilla, tiger lily, yarrow, and so many more. Walking the trails is a colorful adventure.
In addition to the flowers, we've seen a little black bear and a herd of mountain sheep. However, not all is flowers and wild animals and raft rides. We have been out a week, so laundry is part of the mix too. Since it's raining today, it's a good day to stay indoors and wash clothes. Life goes on!
