Over the past two years I have tried to do a collection of Red Deer River pictures for winter, spring summer and fall. I did not get the fall pictures last year as I was too late and missed the best of the colors.
I have taken all pictures from approximately the same position so that the seasons can be compared. The name of the river in this area is river bend. There is a long lazy ess bend which makes for an interesting section of the river. The bends are approximately 2 kms in length. There are riffles and a few small rapids so it is a popular river to canoe. To go from Red Deer To Drumheller takes about four days and you will see very few other humans. You will see lots of birds, animals and a few cows who stare at you as you float by.
At this time of the year the water level is fairly low. There are a few places where you could wade across. Most of it is deeper than wading depth. There are many large boulders so it keeps you on your toes.
So the Red Deer River is a very enjoyable canoe trip if you have lots of time.
Nice pictures, Red. I enlarged a couple and you did a good job. I'm always happy to see a story with pictures, it makes it so much more real for me. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the pat on the back. I tried to make a series. Some comments amaze me . One was calling it a wild river. That really took me back as to how lucky we are.

Thanks Tracey. Some day I would like to get more camera. This one is very basic.
ReplyDeleteThis is fun. I like seeing the cycle of the seasons.
ReplyDeleteThere's more I could do with this. I'm thinking of something like this for a front page.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
