Wedge Pond at Dusk

     Went for a drive a week or so back along Highway 40 in Kananaskis, Alberta. I have traveled this road numerous times to many of the trail heads that lead to great hikes in the area. But even if one is not into hiking, this area has spectacular scenery that one can enjoy from the road.
      Wedge Pond is found right beside the highway and makes for great photographs. The water can be very calm which makes for nice reflections of the mountains on the other side of the road. One mountain in particular that catches ones attention is Fortress Mountain. It is the flat topped mountain on the left which kind of does look like a fortress. A number of years ago I summited this mountain with a friend. Every time I visit Wedge Pond or drive this highway, I always think back to the day I stood at the top of the Fortress!
