Today my husband & I stopped for breakfast at the Bearspaw Farmers' Market on the way to Kananskis for a 10km hike around Barrier Lake. It was the perfect day, sunshine and mild breezes, and a crystal blue mountain lake to cool off in after our jaunt. We found a beautiful campground that is only available to those willing to hike in, so peaceful I could have easily stayed. I feel so grateful to live so close to the Rocky Mountains, to be able to head out for a hike at a moments notice, to pack a delicious lunch and spend quality time in this blessed place with my family. It was a good day.

I love Barrier Lake! And, I have had the good fortune of staying in that campsite (many years ago). The lake is magical at dusk around the warmth of a campfire. It is a lovely place for sure. Thanks for sharing...
