Fall splendor.

Erik and Hubby travelled through Alberta, Canada's Hunter Valley and Fallen Timber region. The Rocky Mountains are at the back.

The Canadian Rockies will take your breath away again and again.

The vibrant fall foliage was breathtaking. “Fall foliage is short-lived in Alberta, with the entire transition from green to brown lasting only 3 to 4 weeks. The trees start changing around the equinox in the second or third week of September, and generally reach their colorful peak in the last week of September and first week of October.” – Hikers Canadian Rockies

"As long as autumn lasts, I shall not have hands, canvas and colours enough to paint the beautiful things I see" – Vincent Van Gogh

"Part of the Ghost Wilderness area, this region is well-renowned for its rugged untamed natural beauty with rolling hills, mountains, rivers, and dense woodlands teeming with wildlife and mature hardwoods." - Travel Alberta

 

  "The Ghost Public Land Use Zone (Ghost PLUZ) borders Banff National Park, Kananaskis Country, and the Dormer-Sheep PLUZ. There are several provincial recreation areas (PRA) within the zone, including Burnt Timber PRA, Fallen Timber PRA, Ghost Airstrip PRA, and Waiparous Creek PRA." - Peak Visor

Wild Horses in Fall.
They were fortunate to see some beautiful wild horses.

“Our study involving the samples from Wild Horses, submitted by volunteer donors has revealed some extremely interesting results. Here’s what we do know. Our horses here in Alberta, are not of “Canadian Horse” decent, such as the ones studied by the same researchers in the Brittany Triangle, in B.C.. However, the most interesting connection is that just like the horses in the Chilcoltins, both studies show a connection to Russian breeds. The B.C. horses show markers indicating a connection to the Yakut, from Siberia, and our horses here in Alberta, are showing strong markers indicating a connection to the Altai, breed from Russia.”– Help Alberta Wildies

Wild horses in Fall.

We spent several days boondocking once more close to one of our favourite locations, Limestone Mountain in Alberta, Canada. It should be noted that to camp on Alberta Crownland, one presently needs a Public Lands Camping Pass.

We saw some wild horses grazing close to our campsite.

It was gorgeous to see the fall colours.

Adjacent to our campsite, a creek empties into the river.

Even Erik was wearing fall colours.

Cattle Grazing on leased Crown land.
They wanted to come to our campsite to drink water at the river or sleep there.

Up until the last day, when a rainstorm woke us up, the weather was nice. By the time we had packed up, the skies were clear once more.

The drive back was stunning.

It was fortunate that the road was still wet because there was no dust.
