To all those interested in nature, welcome to The Nature Hut.
Mt Stephen Hike
Recently I was able to participate in a hike up to the Trilobite beds located on Mt Stephen near Field, B.C.
Thes Burgess Shale Foundation runs several hikes in this area. The Burgess Shale is a UNESCO World Heritage site. It is known for it's extensive fossils of the Cambrian period I believe.
There is a very good exhibit at the Tyrrell Museum on the Burgess Shale.
I thought I put a link in here to some pictures of the hike.

- I'm glad you were able to get up the the shale and Mount Stephen. I have visited the display at the Tyrrell Museum and found it truly fascinating - so hard to believe that the sealife that once covered the area is now trapped in fossils high on mountain tops in the Rockies.

Yes, it was certainly very exciting. I returned to the same area this summer - but not sign of the fox, I'm afraid.
Nice Picture! (It's a snowy egret.) Margaret
