Today, we woke to a layer of snow on the ground!!! We took some pictures and made a quick exit to the cooking shelter, which, fortunately was nice and warm! We made breakfast and layered up to go hiking. We walked from the campground up the the Chateau Lake Louise and sat in the lobby... Continue Reading →
Day 97 – Still waiting for the the weather to clear in Lake Louise and our first snow!
We had a slow start to the day as it was once again cold and raining! We sat by the wood stove in the cooking shelter and stayed nice and warm. In the afternoon, Satomi and Tritan gave us a ride to Lake Morraine as it looked like the rain might let up a bit.... Continue Reading →
Day 96 – Waiting for the weather to clear in Lake Louise
Today it rained hard and was only in the single digits. We re-registered and headed into the village to get groceries and hang out at the visitors centre where it was warm and dry. There were nice chairs there and we sat for a while re-couping from the cold. Once we got back to the... Continue Reading →

Day 67 – Rest Day Kayaking in Eagle Dogtooth Provincial Park
Even though it was our rest day, we woke up early so that we could get our tandem kayak (it was first come first serve, but there was no line up anyway). It had rained over night but the forecast was calling for a muggy but sunny day. The weather last night was 'smoke' –... Continue Reading →
Day 61 – Rest day in Thunder Bay
We slept in and had a slow start to our rest day. I started some much needed laundry, including washing our sleeping bags (thank goodness)! I headed out in the afternoon to get a new seatpost for my bike as mine was too short. I received excellent service at Cyclepath at 831 May St. and... Continue Reading →
Day 59 – Rest day at Sleeping Giant
We had a very slow start to our rest day in Sleeping Giant, sleeping in and making breakfast in the rain. We headed for the visitors centre to check it out and dry off. Since we had discovered (much to our dismay!) that you could not get the kayaks (sit on tops only, not the... Continue Reading →
