Fields of Gold

Which was the tune, sung by Eva Cassidy, running through my head most of the day...

Clear skies and warmer weather has returned to the Kootenays so we joined two friends and headed up Schroeder Creek FSR with the plan of hiking to the ski club's winter cabin.

It was a fine, almost-fall day, with great views higher up into Schroeder Creek, with Mts Schroeder and Jardine on the western skyline.  Part of the trail climbed through an old burned area and the fireweed (Epilobium angustifolium) was in full bloom.  Not fields of gold, but fields of magenta, and equally as nice.
