Yesterday's high point

04 Aug 2009 153
Yesterday, a few of us did a hike at Marston Creek, at the most south easterly edge of Kananaskis. I shouldn't really use the word "hike", as we take our time while we botanize an area : ) However, that doesn't alter the fact that we still had to climb upwards, upwards and more upwards, LOL! Part way, we wandered through a forest area, where we found various beautiful fungi, and then continued our climb. I almost gave up just before this high point, but forced myself to do the last 50 yards or so. Was glad I did, as a friend found a Clustered Broomrape plant up here on the rocks - on its dying legs, but it was still a Broomrape plant : ) Didn't get much of a view, as the cloud was coming in lower and lower until it finally turned to rain for the whole of our descent. At least it wasn't HOT!!
