Kananaskis

Although we've spent a lot of time exploring Alberta and BC since moving here, we've tended to focus our time and attention on Canmore, Banff, Lake Louise, etc. and haven't spent much time at all in Kananaskis. We've done hikes and mountain bike rides here and there, but have never really explored the village and highway 40, etc.
Today we had a friend running in the K100 (Ryan Strom), where a relay of runners each run a portion of a 100mile stretch of the highway that runs through this beautiful area. We took our bikes out to cheer him on, then spent some time at the Stroms campsite at Eau Claire.
This area is a bit of a hidden gem: so close to Calgary, but SO beautiful!! Here's Dave in Kananaskis Village

We caught up with Ryan and cheered/heckled him along his leg of the race

Back at the campsite, the ladies enjoy some much needed (but highly overpriced) beverages!
