With restrictions on travel, regulations regarding self-isolation, reduced airline service and of course increased travel costs stemming from the pandemic; this summer’s vacation will consist of exploring new local areas and hiking, provided those areas are open. I do a fair amount when hunting and fishing however, I do enjoy leisurely to moderate treks with friends and family members. My favourite trails include…
Jasper
-Jasper Discovery Trail
-Lake Annette Trail
-Pyramid Trail
-Valley of the Five Lakes
-Maligne Canyon Trail
-Mary Schäffer Loop
-Pocahontas Mine Trail
-Source of the Springs
-Toe of the Athabasca Glacier
-Path of the Glacier Trail
Banff/Lake Louise
-Marsh Loop
-Johnston Canyon
-Sulphur Mountain
-Twin Lakes
-Lake Taylor
-Moraine Lake
Canmore
-Bow River Loop
-Three Sisters Pathways
Now you know my favourite spots; what about my favourite gear???
Three pieces I am really loving include…
–RedHead Women’s Skyline Waterproof Mid Hikers
*so comfortable; the only pair of hiking boots that have not given me a blister and offer great support|
–Sitka Cloudburst Jacket
*you can’t go wrong with any of the Sitka gear; it is a little pricey but so worth it; excellent quality!
–Yeti Rambler Water Bottle
*I love all the Yeti gear; keeps water refreshingly cool!
