Forgetmenot Ridge summit hike - The ridge from Highway 66 on approach

            There was weather forecast for the afternoon, so we got an early start on this hike to Forgetmenot Ridge. This hike requires a ford of the Elbow River.  On previous visits, that hadn't been an issue, but the floods of 2013 changed the channels, and we had been staying away fearing deep water. But we were able to hip-hop over a shallow section, and all was well. Although when driving to the trailhead, you feel you are deep in the Rocky Mountains, this place is still very much the "Front Range," the first line of mountains next the foothills, and you can get distant views of Calgary from the top.
