July
July reminds me of fresh flowers, mountain air, rain, late nights, card games, and lots of ice cream.
The first weekend of July we headed down south to the Rockies and attempted climbing Tak Falls. It was incredibly busy so we didn’t get a chance to do any pitches but the views and hike up were stunning. Instead, we chose to head to Banff and climb Gold Rush the next day. Which was an easy 5.7 multi-pitch and the first I’ve completed!
Second weekend of July we drove straight to Lake Louise on a Friday after work to arrive at 1030PM, catch some Z’s and wake up at 1 AM to get prepared for our hike to Mt. Victoria. We started walking shortly after 2 AM and made it up to the glacier by 7 AM. After some careful decision-making, Dylan and I decided to not attempt the summit with our friends. We saw some big rock fall, some the size of mattresses coming down, and just felt like it was better to stay away on the hot day we got so lucky with! We ended up coming down by noon, hanging around for a few hours in the parking lot before heading to our next location. We spent Sunday visiting our favorite locations around Calgary before coming back home.
Three weekends into July and we headed to the lake! We drove out Friday afternoon after a good sleep-in. I attended a spin class and got a pedicure and then napped before heading north to my Partner’s Dad’s Lake! It was an uneventful, relaxing weekend in the sun.
The last week of July we headed to Littlehorn Meadows. One of my favorite places. I made a beautiful video of us walking through the trail if you want to check it out here! We got hailed on as we walked up to our campsite and then welcomed blue skies and puffy clouds for the rest of the weekend.
