Rockyview Hotel, Cochrane, AB. Built c. 1903...


wild Brown-eyed Susan


Looking east along the Bow River


Looking west along that same river


Cow-hide (or patterned) couch in front of a false barn front (inside the Cochrane Ranche House)


Larger-than-life horses in the Cochrane Ranche House


Horse-drawn cutter (I think it was a JD)


Cutter inthe foreground with the hills in the back


Neat rock formation (sandstone)


Looking yonder to the blue Rocky Mountains


Brands and people who lived around the area (there was a whole wall of this...wall was ~10' x ~50')


Another neat rock formation (there was another one, a little smaller than this, with iron-deposits in the water pooled in this)


S'more scenery


Cowpuncher and cowhorse statue


That's how high up we were

Some of you hill-folk who live up around there might find these pics boring, but for me, a Flatlander, I find it completely amazing. The climate, the landscape, the vegetation...everything is sooo different from what it's like back at home 500 miles north of where these pics were took.

I'd love to live there someday. :)
