The Buck Lake Stampede turns 79 this year, the third oldest rodeo in Alberta. Turnout was good and even though it’s not a large town, it continues to be one of the most popular rodeos around. It’s apparent that in a recession, 20 bucks for a weekend of Rodeo is good way to spend the weekend. The FCA cowboys are tough as nails and these pictures prove it.

Derek and I headed up the “Tuff Puff” 3 km west of the Siffleur Falls Staging Area – similar to this hike last fall (link). It was a super beautiful hike with some unique occurrences, including this Rock Ptarmigan. More pictures can be found by clicking here, including my favorite panorama to date.
