Snowshoeing

We went snowshoeing out in Kananaskis a while back, somewhere by the upper and lower lakes, I think, at least. Ended up finding a great big pipeline for water that must've been hot, and that is apparently leaky. It was covered in great big icicles and water spurts. Despite the fact that the pipe had lots of holes, it was really cool.

Anyways, I must say that I don't really get the snowshoeing thing. We've gone out a couple of time, and despite assurances otherwise, I'm pretty sure that you wouldn't really sink any deeper without the showshoes on. Mostly because I was sinking down to what seemed like pretty much grass. It's nice to go out to the mountains and wander, but I think that we may have added an unnecessary level of difficulty with the snowshoes. I'm probably wrong, and maybe if the show was a little more packed, and a little less fresh, it would work better. Maybe we'll test that theory next winter...
