Since we have been home from Portugal, in this summer of Covid, we sure haven’t been very far. This year is the time to showcase our beautiful backyard. Kananaskis Country is a short drive from our house with sweet camping. The drive has spectacular scenery, even on a cloudy day.
And what would be a drive on a country road without having to slow down for roaming cows.
We stayed at Beaver Flats campground, it is “first come, first served” and was packed, but luckily a family was leaving and we were able to pull in. Set up was quick and then time to enjoy the peace and quiet.
The meadow behind our site was full of wildflowers and birds.

We did a short, easy hike along Beaver Flat Trail. We only saw one old broken beaver house, but lots of beaver dams. Industrious little critters.
Our hike also took along the Elbow River.
Half the fun of camping is cooking over an open fire….rain, sunshine, breakfast, dinner…. it is all the same.

Our first camping trip of the year, sure makes me appreciate the beauty we have at home. We will do this again soon.
Cheers! Stay healthy.
