It gave me something to look at while I was trying to catch my breath. The murals were painted as part of a project with the Alberta Wilderness Association. What a lovely surprise and perfect distraction from my heavy breathing. I reached the top, where I took a few minutes to catch my breath and take a few pictures.

It took me about 14 minutes — walking. Nonetheless it was a great workout for my heart. But there were dozens of people running or hiking quickly. Police officers in uniform. High school students.

Stairwells can be narrow, they can be wide, they can turn to the left or right, there could be hallways you have to run down, the steps can be very steep or very high, they can be made of concrete, they can be metal.
