Elbow Falls

Today we are back in Alberta. About 45 minutes west of Calgary, lies the heart of the foothills at the base of the Rockies: Kananaskis Country. Among so many other beautiful places in Kananaskis is Elbow Falls Provincial Recreation Area. This area is wonderful for it's falls, hiking trails, picnic areas, and more.
You can go down the Elbow River in a canoe or raft.

If kayaking is more your style, then you can do that too!

But if you are more like me, and enjoy hiking and scenery, then this area offers some spectacular views.

     In June of 2013, Alberta suffered some of the largest flooding ever seen in Alberta's history.
          Part of the recreation area of Elbow Falls was completely destroyed by flood water.
