From Trails to Trials – by Rick Lauber
Canada’s majestic Rocky Mountains stretch between Alberta and British Columbia. Their snow-capped peaks, seemingly, touch the sky. My family visited these mountains and hiked their trails often when I was younger.
I have fond memories of these trips. Our little group must have been a sight to see … Dad would lead, my two sisters and I would follow, and Mom would bring up the rear. Mom’s standard excuse for lagging behind was that she wanted to admire the wildflowers; however, I suspect now she followed us to corral any of her stray children. Among our many hiking destinations were Lake O’Hara, Mt. Edith Cavell Meadows, the Lake Agnes Tea House Trail, and Crypt Lake (a full-day hike including a tunnel through a mountain wall).
