Prairie Mountain Summit Hike - The most beautiful colours at a viewpoint midway

            I don't know who put them up, but it was such a joy to see these beautiful colours at this viewpoint.

This mountain is a wonderful place - it's a good workout, very close to Calgary, always something different to see. Given all the miles on our car that we logged doing the 65 summit project in 2021, we've been trying to stay closer to home, and thought 'Wouldn't it be interesting to summit Prairie Mountain once each month.' So far we've been successful, but on this trip we noticed markings suggesting there would be trail construction, and someone said they will likely close this trail at the end of May. :(   There is an alternate route to the summit, and we don't know if that will be closed too, we'll have to wait for our June outing. Commonly, the winds on Prairie Mountain often are blowing a gale, but today we had fine weather and the air was calm. 

To extend the challenge, we extended our walk, descending a bit from the summit northwards and returning, then descending southwards almost 300 m's in elevation and returning to the top, so that our total accumulated elevation gain was 1073 m's after we finally completed. We did walk 11.4 km's return distance, and took 4.3 hours to do all this.
