Our Sunday hike (Aug 13/2006)
We had some challenges and near drownings (exaggeration) trying to ford the Highwood River but once we got going it was beautiful. I think we ended up walking about 9km and I had to ford the river about seven times (carrying kids across) while Shareen forded a measly four (to find a lost camera on the other side).
After fording the river we had a bit of an ascent but after we cleared the first ridge the view was spectacular.
The weather was right around 21-24C but you can tell the seasons are changing as we kept getting chilled (could be the freezing mountain water soaking my underwear from the fording adventures however).

Cataract Creek is the blue meandering line to the right of highway 940, we followed it for about 4.5km up and then back down the same trail
Some fantastic sites and formations (for the geologists).
Overall another fantastic hike in Alberta
