This was a great stretch of the legs, and the weather held up pretty well.  Here's our track for yesterday. Looks as if we did it a little faster than on Jan 17th!

We thought the window-banger bird had just stopped its strange behaviour and moved on, but unfortunately not.  It was an evolutionary dead end. Lovely bird but a little bird-brained.

We're doing the Elk/Beaver Lake 10k clockwise  - hoping for decent weather and fairly dry walking.

When four of us did this hike on Jan 17, it was snowy but pleasant.
