Bear Mountain

This morning I got up around six and got ready to go for a hike.

Dad, Rowan and I left for herring cove around seven thirty and got there about eight. We hiked up to the lake then went off the trail an started hiking up hill.

It took us about three and a half hours to get to tree line on bear mountain from the start of herring cove trail head. We worked our way up in the alpine. someone had shot a deer so I went over and talked a little bit. We then worked our way up on to the ridge and walked the ridge a bit then  we sat there and ate some lunch. We continued up the ridge and stopped where we could see a couple of lakes. We sat up there for a bit and while we were up there, we saw a flock of rock ptarmigan fly on the other side of the lake. I walked around and got to where I could get some photos of them. I took some photos of them then headed back to where dad and Rowan were. We hung out up there a bit longer then we headed home.

It took us a 11 hours round trip including the time we spent on the mountain looking are, but I enjoyed it.                                                             rock ptarmigan
