Day One

The drive from Black Diamond to Bow River Campground was easy and uneventful. No wind! We took a side trip to Kananaskis Village and had a decent pizza for lunch at Forte (at the Marriott). We took a short walk to a viewpoint, but left shortly after we learned that there was a grizzly bear nearby. I was hoping to see a bear, but not a grizzly wandering around the village!

The campground was pretty with trees and shrubs between sites, providing a lot of privacy. We couldn't see the river from our campsite, but there were a few empty spots where I could walk and sit, watching the deer on the other side of the river. Still no bears or moose. 

The sky was hazy, but the mountains were still visible and stunning.

Great site to aim for next time!
