As we were driving to Yamnuska today, one friend of mine was commenting about my short form for the hike - Yam. When I texted him about hiking Sunday, all I said was "Yam Sunday?" and he thought I meant "yes, Sunday" referring to hiking happening in general. He wondered what "Yam" meant. (: So we hiked Yamnuska. It's a great hike. Close to Calgary & a quick hike. Only 40 minutes from Calgary and the hike took us only 4.25 hours with an elevation gain apparently of 900m. I have two favourite parts on that hike - the chain around a dodgy corner (which used to be a cord) - and the scree. The scree is fun. It's a gentle 'float' down the mountain. It does not get you to the bottom but it certainly cuts down the descent time hiking down.
