The weather was great on Monday for a short off trail hike up to the top of Little Lougheed.

The warm sunny weather meant that we didn't have to add any layers of clothing until we were above tree line.

 The chinook arch which was present over Mount Lougheed as we headed up, disappeared shortly after noon.The views from the top of Little Lougheed as usual, were excellent.

We enjoyed a half hour break on the summit before starting our way back down.

The afternoon sun filtering through the trees, made the lower section of Spencer Creek especially beautiful.

The group was back at the vehicles by 3 pm. 
Thanks to Rosanne, Philip, Damian, Arnold, Clifton and Spector the wonder dog for their great company and for joining me Kevin (S/C) on a very pleasant mid September outing in the mountains.
