Mileage: 13.7km So maybe this coloured my opinion of today (or vice versa), but I decided that Section B is my least favourite. It's too long, starts with the nice parts (High Rock and Tornado Saddle), and ends in an unpleasant car-centric frontcountry area. Maybe it would be nicer to do SOBO? Today was one … Continue reading GDT Day 15 – One of those days

GDT Day 14 – Here I am; Rock me like a -hurricane- Tornado
Mileage: 13 km We woke from our site at Dutch Creek feeling pretty awake and in good spirits. We had some inefficiencies and confusion when breaking camp but we got over those and were ready to start our day at around 8am or so (I didn't actually check!) The hike away from camp was quickly … Continue reading GDT Day 14 – Here I am; Rock me like a -hurricane- Tornado
GDT Day 12 – Dope Views and Good Trail
Mileage: 16.3km Today we did my favourite section of the HRT (High Rock Trail); it has the best views and great trail. We started slowly at Window Mountain Lake after Toothless woke up a handful of times last night. It took us a while to break camp so we started just after 8:00am. At the … Continue reading GDT Day 12 – Dope Views and Good Trail
GDT Day 11 – Finally off the road!
Mileage: 15.3km We were awoken by cows trying to invade our tent - at least that's what it sounded like when Kyle told me at 5:30am that cows were beside the tent. I ignored him and rolled over trying to eke out the last few minutes of sleep before Toothless got up for the day. … Continue reading GDT Day 11 – Finally off the road!
GDT Day 10 – Heading out of Coleman
Mileage: 10.1 km Initially I thought we had to pull off a big day today, so yesterday I was dreading getting up early and pushing through the road out of Coleman then still having to go another 10-15 kms. Fortunately our itinerary had a gap from us adjusting it at the last minute before we … Continue reading GDT Day 10 – Heading out of Coleman
GDT Day 8 & 9 – Lots of Driving
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
GDT Day 7 – A nicer ATV trail experience than last time
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
GDT Day 6 – Why did we choose road walking again?
Answer: It would be more fun with a baby than doing La Coulotte... Mileage: 18.8km (16.8 on our road alternate, 2.0 on the GDT, also road 😅) Today was a slightly easier day than yesterday but much more boring and frustrating. I woke still with blisters on my feet - a little better than yesterday … Continue reading GDT Day 6 – Why did we choose road walking again?
GDT Day 5 – On the road again
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
GDT Day 4 – I’ll take an easy day
Mileage: 14.8 km Today was a nice and easy day. Thankfully! Toothless slept in quite late this morning. He woke at 7:30am instead of his usual 5:30-6:00am window. Normally this late of a sleep in would stress me backpacking but we hike on his schedule and we planned most days to be relatively short to … Continue reading GDT Day 4 – I’ll take an easy day
