The above photos were taken on our trip up the Vision Quest Ridge. We read that this ridge was used by at least two Native tribes. Here they would send their people after a sweat lodge. The idea is that the person would spend as much time up here as required in order to have a vision. Often the person on the quest would realize their kindred spirit from the animal world (Tracey's is the Golden Eagle -- she saw two circling overhead, Yoho's the Mountain Goat -- which we knew a long time ago even if we never saw one on the ridge, and mine is the Raven -- not the flashiest creature but pretty darn smart.Top Photo: Me with Abraham Lake in the background -- approx. half way down the ridge. Middle Photo: Tracey on the Summit Ridge. Bottom Photo: Yoho looking over the false summit.
