A woman in a khaki shirt and shorts stands in a rocky summit. There is a brown pole at the summit with words too small for me to read while typing these notes. Rocky snowy peaks can be seen in the background as far as the eye can see. The sky is blue with faint streaky clouds.

Memories of seeing the world all around from place you were carried by your own two legs. 2008 #MtFrosty #ManningProvincialPark

A wildflower meadow with red paintbrush is in the foreground. Tall dark green fir trees are behind them and in the distance are rocky peaks with some snow. There are a few white fluffy clouds in the sky.

So fortunate to have a beautiful provincial park just up the road! #manningprovincialpark #heathermeadow #paintbrush #cascademountains

A person wearing a bright red hat and daypack is looking through binoculars towards the left. She is standing on a hiking trail in a ridge top edged by standing dead trees, likely the result of a forest fire years ago. Snow-covered mountains can be seen in the distance.

Always fun to hike with a fellow birder! It was very backlit but appeared to be a western bluebird. #manningprovincialpark #birding #hiking #skylineI

A person with a red hat, red sweater, black pants, and daypack hikes down a ridge with rocks, meadow and evergreen trees. Across the valley are mountains with fir-covered dark green slopes, light green avalanche chutes, and rocky peaks with snow. A u-shaped glacial valley is clearly seen. Many white clouds with tinges of grey and the occasional blue patch are seen in the sky

The view the other direction with a spiked dead tree and firs in the foreground and the rocky peaks of Hozameen mountain in the distance. The sky is cloudy with an open patch of blue with striped clouds in the middle.

Good for the soul! Day hiked with a friend yesterday! #manningprovincialpark #skylineI #hiking #ocanada #beautifulBC

A pile of fresh bear scat. Black and larger than dog poop surrounded by meadow plants.

Another pile of fresh bear scat. Black and larger than dog poop next to a dandelion and dry grass.

Yet another pile of fresh bear scat. Black and larger than dog poop surrounded by meadow plants including strawberries.

This sign wasn’t kidding! #bearsign #manningprovincialpark #hiking #bearcountry

Two stalks of flowers stand in front of a lake. The flowers have white petals above and pale lavender striped petals below. A reflection of an evergreen covered ridge and the ridge are visible in the background and green grass is along the shore. The sky is white with thin high clouds.

You deserve two #flowers on Friday! Saw these #wildflowers at #manningprovincialpark. I do love a #lupine #lightninglakes
