Seven of us enjoyed a relaxed hike on the High Noon Hills. Trail conditions were great - mostly dry and snow-free, except for a few short patches of soft snow on the return nearing the final meadow.
Some spring flowers were seen along the trail - lots of Prairie Crocus, some Cinquefoil, a large patch of Three-Flowered Avens, and Buffalo Bean.
We went up the various bumps of the hills to the boundary fence and our high point, where we had a snack break enjoying the views.
Wildlife sightings by various members of our group on the hike: deer, a bear running downhill towards the river (just after we were down thereā¦) and a tick (maybe more will be found now we are home).
Thanks to a friendly group who joined me on this lovely day in the foothills: David,Susan,Peter,Nancy,Bill,Keith from coordinator Barb.
