This morning some of our group coordinated and drove up to Lake Louise to do some hiking. There were 12 or so of us who decided we'd hike to the tea house at Lake Agnes (and from there figured we'd decide based on how we felt if we wanted to…

One more shot from near Marion Lake on our steep steep hike yesterday: And today: heading to Banff!
Comments closedThe rain seems to have stopped for the moment (maybe even for the whole day, according to the reports) so we left our campsite this morning and headed over to meet up with Tiffani and Deke for a nice hike. We started the trail from the trailhead here at the Illecillewaet…

Comments closedAnother good hike this afternoon at Stub Stewart State Park. Here's a polaroid I found on the ground near the Banks Vernonia Trail: When I looked up, I was standing in the exact spot where they took and dropped the snapshot. That was a fun little loop to be standing…
1 CommentWe thought we might mix it up a little and go for a bike ride instead of a hike today. It was a hot day…the Banks Vernonia Trail is right there and mostly shaded and gorgeous. Perfect. We got the folders out, filled up a few things of water, grabbed…
