Day 8 Mileage: 12.3km Day 9 Mileage: 0️⃣ The walk into town is always pretty uneventful with the focus on keeping our heads down and flying through the miles until we have town food in our tummies, and laundry and showers on the go. We took a brief break for Toothless to crawl around a … Continue reading GDT Day 8 & 9 – Lots of Driving
Daily Mileage: 20.8 km We were relatively slow at breaking camp this morning which wasn't aided by the fact that Toothless pooped right before we were about to head out. (Though being right beside an outhouse rather than needing to dig a cathole was a plus!) One more diaper change later and we got on … Continue reading GDT Day 7 – A nicer ATV trail experience than last time
Mileage: 26.5km (1.6km on the GDT, the remainder on our route around La Coulotte) Another hiker rolled in late to the Font Creek camp last night and thankfully didn't wake Toothless when he poked his head over to our tent to ask if we had an iPhone charge cable. And then we had a brief … Continue reading GDT Day 5 – On the road again
Mileage: 22.4km (including 2 bonus km from camp back to the GDT) Toothless woke at 5:30am and we had a long day ahead, so we tried to pack up and get an early start. We made quick work of our 2km detour back to the official trail, but the sun was already starting to get … Continue reading GDT Day 3 – More up, up, up
GDT Mileage: 6.0 kmDaily Mileage: 12.0 km The reality of the trail started set in last night as we spent a long (for hikers) evening chatting with Alastair and Jacqueline, who just hiked part of section A, and Lowell and Jeanette, who were sharing our ride down to Waterton. It was interesting to hear there … Continue reading GDT Day 1 – Slow, then fast
Mileage: 15km We awoke once again to rain. This time we didn't laze around though since warm showers and cold beers were waiting for us in town! We even managed to get packing up down to 1.5 hours or so despite needing to maneuver around in the tent to pack up most of our stuff. … Continue reading SCT 2021 Day 6 – Back to the car!
Mileage: 11.75 km We had another relatively early start with Toothless ready to start the day before 6am - definitely woke up a few members of the group camping under us. Oops 😉 A steady climb up towards Confederation Lake took longer than I hoped for, but eventually we reached the cabin. We had a … Continue reading SCT 2021 Day 5 – Fiddlehead to Inland Lake
Mileage: 15.5km mostly along FSRs to avoid going back over Tin Hat Lewis Lake was very noisy overnight - the frogs were throwing a huge party most of the night! It was surprisingly warm for right beside the lake though which was nice. Today was our turnaround day and neither of us was looking forward … Continue reading SCT 2021 Day 4 – Roadwalking to Fiddlehead
Mileage: 6.75 km Toothless was once again up bright and early around 5:30am; it was raining it still though and we still needed his diapers to dry, so we didn't start packing up yet. After some crawling all over us, thankfully we were able to convince him to go back to sleep until 7am. It … Continue reading SCT 2021 Day 3 – Tin Hat to Lewis Lake
Mileage: 13.5 km After a toasty night in the cabin, Toothless woke up ready to start the day bright and early just after 5am. We took advantage of the cabin and had a slow start and finally got on the trail around 7:30am. It was a nice sunny morning as we headed downhill towards Fiddlehead … Continue reading SCT 2021 Day 2 – Confederation Lake to Tin Hat Mountain
