I ventured out with Arcade for fresh air and a good stroll. We headed to Lake Minnewanka for a few reasons. First is that it’s recommended as a premier shoulder season hike in my favourite guide book and the conditions didn’t disappoint. Dry feet at the end of the day makes me super happy 🙂 Second is that this trail is a good season starter with very gradual elevation gains and losses while your water obsessed dog stares at the lake.
Final reason is that the trail is closed to dogs after July 10th due to bear activity. I’d rather give bears their space too, while they feed on buffalo berries.
