Drive and picnic - Sheep River Falls


Mark

Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone

 

Yvette and I were thinking of planning a drive next Sunday, July 24th, to Sheep River Falls (south of Calgary).

 

A good meeting place would be the South Calgary (Shawnessy) Second Cup. It's not a very long drive but very scenic. We'd stop at the Sheep River Falls Picnic Area for lunch which could be a potluck picnic or an "every man (woman) for him/herself" event.

 

Let us know if you're interested.

Very good idea and the 3 porsches from our family will be coming on the picnic. Please give us the time etc. We have our picnic lunch planned. Looking forward the outing.

Hi Everyone

Just an update on our drive tomorrow.......

 

We will head out from the Shawnessy Second Cup at about 10am. Our original destination was Sheep River Falls near Turner Valley but Fritz's test drive of the road wasn't promising, a few too many frost humps for our group.

 

Keeping waterfalls as the destination theme we'll head just a little further south through Longview and up the bottom leg of highway 40 to the Cat Creek recreation (picnic) area where we will have our picnic lunch.

 

For anyone interested there will be an optional short hike into Cat Creek Falls (the hike is designated "Easy" and is a 2.5 km round trip).

 

Look forward to seeing you all in the am.

Thanks Yvette (and Mark too) for organizing, I really enjoyed the day.

 

Interesting how it turned from a "short drive to the falls with optional picnic" into a 9 hour full day trek through the Highwood pass!

 

I would post some pics but I forgot my camera today.

Thanks for organizing the drive and being slow enough, that the little 912 was be-able to keep up with those GT3 and the hot VW

 

looking forward to the next trip

Hi Mark & Yvette Yesterdays event was the best event this year so far, in our books. We had a wonderful time. We were tired when we got home but so glad that we participated. Hope you put on more picnic tours like this last one. Kootos to you both. The hike to the falls was exciting, I slept like a baby when I got home. ha! ha! ha!

Fritz thank you for your hospitality yesterday. It was great to have a short stop complete with goodies. Loved the run through the golf course that you provided. Hope to see you on the Columbia Ice Fields trip this weekend.

Awesome trip guys - we all had a blast. Nothing satisfied me more than looking back and seeing both of my kids asleep on each other to the hum of a flat six in the back of my 911 on the way home!
