“If the winter is too cold and the summer is too hot, you are not a hiker.” ~A Bitter Hiker
July 16
Elk Lake Campground to Kananaskis Trailhead end of Section B – 6 miles
Luxury. Waking up to a dry tent and sleeping bag.
After 6 days of no shower, I was so ready.
We buzzed early morning to our exit Trailhead, walked a mile and a half to Bolton Trading Post, bought necessary supplies, quickly downed a bag of chips and a Dr. Pepper (gasp), then spent 10 minutes under a spray of perfect hot water.
A generous couple gave us a ride 30 miles to the Kananaskis Village exit, then we hitched to the Village and got a ride from a group of Australians. The Village is the site of the Calgary Olympics and very Resort.
After lunch, Interneting, dinner, more Interneting, we hitched to the Kananaskis Hostel with a nice young man.
The hostel is lovely and super clean. I just love it.
A bag of chips and a Dr. Pepper, now that sounds good!!!
Your first two photos are perfect with the reflection in the lake. So gorgeous. Glad you could take some time to relax and refresh. Enjoy your rest.
The shower must have felt wonderful! 🙂
Looks like a hard place to leave! Wonderful photos and write ups of your journey so far! 🙂
