Don’t let that perfect blue sky fool you. We took a ridiculously cold (and quick!) snowshoe around Wedge Pond in Kananaskis Country on December 23. The snow was blowing from the tops of the peaks and the humidity in the air was literally (and I mean literally) breathtaking.ย  Given the assault by Jack Frost, we weren’t even halfheartedly debating whether or not to cut the trip short…and then my hubby saw two wolves on another part of the trail.ย  They were skittish and promptly vanished, but we suddenly got to worrying a bit (especially when the tree branches were cracking just so), and besides, there was hot chocolate and Irish Cream waiting at home.

    Well, I hope the wolves got in out of the cold too, and maybe got some hot chocolate.

      LOL, I bet they weren’t too impressed with the weather, either!

    Gorgeous scenery but I would rather be indoors with the hot chocolate!

    1. Sheryl @ Flowery Prose Avatar

      It was crazy cold…staying indoors would have been the better option!

    Wind chills of 8 zillion below. The prospect of getting beaned by falling branches. Wolves. . . . You made the right decision!

      I totally agree! ๐Ÿ™‚
