GDT kms: 21.8 It was another cold and dark morning and we both had a hard time getting out of the tent. Eventually we started though and enjoyed the mostly continuous trail along the rest of the high route before we had to take the trail down the mountain to the Jackpine River. We were … Continue reading Day 45 – Down to the river

Kyle left me to finish taking down the tent and went to the washroom - when we here returned, he claimed to have woken up and seen a … Continue reading Day 44 – Coldest feet ever and beautiful alpine

By the time we were ready to pack up the … Continue reading Day 41 – Easy walking in and out of meadows

GDT kms: 36.6 We woke up and tried to leave the hostel quietly to grab breakfast at Coco's Cafe again - the hostel is quite nice, but my one complaint is all the doors are very heavy and hard to open/close quietly. We got there right when they opened and needed to wait a few … Continue reading Day 40 – We survived the highway
