We headed to Lundbreck Falls with the idea that we would stay only if "our" site was available. There are only two spots in this park that we would consider camping in. I know... fussy! As luck would have it, our site was free.
Our site is pretty private and is right beside the Crowsnest River just downstream from the Falls. The rushing water cuts out highway and train noise which could otherwise be a bit of a problem. The song birds are abundant. Probably due to all the chokecherry and saskatoon bushes in the area.
Our stay was pretty relaxing. Ron did a couple short hikes to the Falls and around the grounds. We had a Thurnderstorm and rain on Thursday evening so had to nix the fire.
Friday was sunny but very windy. We made the decision to spend one more night and then head home. We had toyed with the idea of Writing on Stone, but weekends can be busy. We took the opportunity to drive to Beaver Mines Lake area to check the camping there. It's a beautiful drive through these foothills with the mountains in the distance -- all the trees, rolling hills, pasture land, vivid greens -- very lush and pretty. There is some nice camping around Beaver Mines Lake and in Castle River area. We also drove up to Castle Mountain Ski Resort. There are a lots of new chalets, townhouses, beautiful big homes and a large area of permanent RV's. This area has all be re-furbished, re-built and improved with many new staging areas and trails for quads. They are hoping to see it become a year round resort rather than just a ski hill.
