Having loitered around the Kananaskis Lakes for ages, we thought we’d best go and look at something else before it got dark. So we headed back to highway 40. At the junction with highway 40, it occurred to us that we’d never really been south of here. We’d tried the first time we visited this area in September several years ago, but had been forced to turn back after a few miles due to snow. Well it wasn’t snowing on this day and the road was fairly clear. We had about 150 miles of fuel in the car and a sign said the next petrol station was 60 miles away, so we set off.
The road climbed steadily, which took it’s toll on our fuel economy, such that after about 20 miles the car’s computer brain was claiming that we only had about 100 miles of fuel left. It was at about this time that we passed the sign in the photo indicating that we’d reached the top of the pass. As the next petrol station was still about 40 miles away, and it was getting late in the afternoon, we thought we’d best just turn around and head back to the hotel.
