My wife and I are walking all of the residential communities in Calgary one at a time. I like to take photos of the cool things that we see along the way.

Our #Calgary Trail adventure today took us along the south shore of the Bow River Pathway from our home in Spruce Cliff to the confluence of the Bow and Elbow rivers, then south on the River Walk to Stampede Park. #yyc 1/4
Since the Douglas Fir Trail is closed, we had to first walk down Bow Trail  to 24 St to get to the Shaganappi Hill Pathway. Unfortunately, Shaganappi Hill Pathway is closed just before you get to the Bow River Pathway, so we had to walk east on 10th Ave, underneath both Crowchild Trail and Bow Trail, and east on Pumphouse Road before we finally reached the Bow River Pathway.  This photo is on 10th Ave under the C-train line.Walking towards downtown on the Bow River Pathway (south side)The Bow River near 10 Street

When we were walking residential streets, I often had difficulty taking enough interesting photos to post. But now that we’re walking #Calgary trails, I’m having trouble choosing which photos to share — just too many great sights captured. #ycc

They are repaving a whole bunch of streets off of 24th Street in Woodbine and Woodlands.   This is the 100 block of Woodstock Place.  We literally could not walk down it because of the fresh tar.  We'll go back another day.
