LEAVING ROCKY MOUNTAIN HOUSE
We were given a tip by a local gentleman who has lived in this area all of his life about a back road through the mountains to put us back where we started this morning. What a gift this was! First of all we met this handsome fellow, the strong and mighty buffalo. The on to the wild horses that apparently are descendants of horses that were turned out by the early fur trappers. We were told to stop by Ram Falls and take a hike back into this area. What a gorgeous gorge this was!
We talked about the early fur trappers coming upon this in their canoes and wondered how many of them met their demise at these falls. Then we were brought back again to follow the Saskatchewan River back to our home base. Tomorrow, with sadness, we leave this area hoping to come back sometime to explore the many wonders indicative of this place.
