[MCR] Joy, Kananaskis Country

Had a few calls into the office here about Joy over the past week.  Up there today and managed to snap a few pics off before the deluge came in.  Route looks generally dry with a few snow patches on the descent.

 

Of note, the bears down near upper and lower Kananaskis lake are abundant right now.  With all the snow still up high seems all the bears are in the lower elevation valleys and the Conservation Officers down in this district have been super busy with bear calls.  Bears love to hang out in the meadows on the descent along this route so heads up hockey through there if you’re headed this way.
