A brief shower one hour into the hike allowed everybody to test their rain gear.

Brief rain shower one hour into the hike

As expected, Elbow Valley portion was dry and lush. The Elbow river was high and fast flowing but we were still able to enjoy our customary 2nd break by the only partially submerged rocks.

I will ask Ron Hunter to add a new category to the "Activity" drop-down menu on the trip page, called

Thanks to everybody for coming out on this warm summer day.

Participants: Norman, Brieta, Madeleine, Darlene, Carmie, June, Linda, Robert, Mohsen, Bill.
