Calgary Malmon Hikers
by Edwin Acuña
Over the past years Brod DVM Benjon
Barachina (UPLB’92) has been hiking trails in the Rocky Mountains of Alberta
Province west of Calgary. It has become his regular regimen sort to speak once
spring has set in, continuing into the summer months.
Last June 11, Brod Benjon (in green shirt) was joined by Brods Rex Almonte
(UPLB’95, in red shirt), and Edwin Acuña (UPD’76) for a two hour hike from the
starting point to the Jumpingpound Summit in Kananaskis Country, some 75
kilometers west of Calgary.
Hiking, aside from the beneficial impact it gives our bodies, unites us with
nature. We are part of nature.
