12 Mile Coulee

We had a very enjoyable walk all over these rolling hills in the NW part of the city, scouting the area for wildflowers. Saw so many gorgeous Prairie Crocuses and a fair number of rare Townsendia hookeri flowers. In the far distance, you can see Canada Olympic Park, where ski-jump and luge events were held during the 1988 WInter Olympics. I love walking in this kind of scenery, though it is quite hard on the knees and ankles when walking on a slope : ).
