Nine people came out to hike the Devon trails.
The starting point was the North Saskatchewan River, which continues to rush like it’s spring. The river seems a long way from freezing up, even though it is now January. (Go North Saskatchewan River!)

The town’s trail at the north end, above the golf course, is now a Trans Canada Trail. It’s well used and frequented by squirrels and birds. This squirrel, holding a hazelnut in its mouth, stayed put while we snapped picture after picture.
There are more photos on Flickr.
What a beautiful hiking and great pictures.
If our winter has been warm to the point of not freezing rivers and creeks, I am concerned about the kind of summer we will have.
I was in Canmore at Christmas and saw unfreeze creek. South of Brazil the temperature are abnormally 40C+ …10 degrees above the normal temperature.
Joanne, you again did a fabulous job describing this event .
Thanks Alda, I’m glad you enjoyed it. I say there’s still plenty of time left for a cold snap here.
