Off to a Good Start

All photos taken on September 4, 2022. After the smoky day yesterday, we were worried we may be bathed in smoke again today. But, it was not so bad.

A Tale of Two Lakes

All photos taken on September 2, 2022. Jasper National Park is known for its pristine alpine lakes and the area where our bungalow was located is well situated. It is on Patricia Lake and close to Pyramid Lake. We prefer this location as the bungalows are off the main road and thus quieter. Pyramid LakeContinue reading “A Tale of Two Lakes”

Hochimini Multiuse Trail – #6e

All photos taken on September 2, 2022. We like to start our mountain hikes slowly with the easier hikes, to enable us to acclimatize to the change in altitude. The day was also supposed to heat up to +28 C (82 F), so we did the hike in the morning, when we and the airContinue reading “Hochimini Multiuse Trail – #6e”
