GDT kms: 0️⃣ We found a cute cafe to eat breakfast at and then we lazed around in our hotel room until 11am when we needed to check out (we had to book two places as nothing was available for two nights). We then set up camp in the park to sort through our resupply … Continue reading Day 39 – Delightful zero in Jasper

GDT kms: 19.2 It rained most of last night and the ash and debris from the night before was all washed off to our delight! It was a very misty, foggy morning though as our campsite appeared to be situated in the middle of a cloud, definitely a good day to walk into town. We … Continue reading Day 38 – Does 19km count as a nero?

GDT kms: 35.9 Last night it rained a bit, but mostly it brought down bits of ash and partially burnt tree bits down on our tent; our poor little tent was quite dirty as a result when we packed it up. We briefly stopped by the washroom and garbage cans in the parking lot and … Continue reading Day 37 – Skyline? More like smoke and rain line

GDT kms: 35.0 We had a bit of a slow start this morning - the days shortening is starting to catch up with us and it was noticeably dark at the time we've typically gotten up. We eventually hit the trail though and started the gentle climb to Maligne Pass. It was very pretty and … Continue reading Day 36 – Through the brush and into the smoke

GDT kms: 36.9 We woke up to the sounds of people walking around and to our surprise when we finally popped out of the tent, the group at the site beside ours was already gone. We then got on the excellent quality trail and began the moderate climb towards Jonas Pass. The pass was marked … Continue reading Day 35 – Jasper has great trails and weird toilets

GDT kms: 22.4 We woke up to a cold morning. I knew it was cold last night because at some point I pulled buff on over my face because my nose was cold, but I didn't realize exactly how cold it was until Kyle went to put his pants on and they were frozen stiff … Continue reading Day 34 – Back on track

GDT kms: 22.1 We had a bit of a sluggish start to the day. It was quite windy last night and a fair bit of smoke blew in and Kyle woke up with a tight throat. We slowly made our way up to the tallest point of the GDT - currently an unnamed pass they … Continue reading Day 33 – It should have been a good day

GDT kms: 17.5 It took me seemingly forever to get to sleep last night, so when our alarm went off at 6:30am so we would be up to catch the buffet as soon as it opened at 7:00am, I was definitely not ready to get up. We packed up some of our stuff and then … Continue reading Day 32 – Back into the woods
