Last weekend I went on a 3 day backpacking trip in Jasper National Park….
I present to you “The Skyline Trail”
I went with my buddy Rick, his wife Michelle, and their brother-in-law Jaden
We had some rain, a very small bit of snow and one Grizzly Bear!
The Skyilne Trail is 44km long. We did it in 3 days, I think if I had the time 4 would be better.
The Skyline Trail has an elevation gain of 1350m.
The Skyline Trail has end points at Maligne Lake and Maligne Canyon.
The Skyline Trail has 7 designated campsites – ohh ahhh
The Skyline Trail is above the tree line for 23km.
The Skyline Trail …. well I don’t have many more useless peices of information. It is an amazing hike and one of the most popular ones in Jasper. I now can see why, the views are just absolutely stunning! My pictures don’t really do it justice, but here are a couple more.
There is nothing quite like backcountry camping, I love being away from everything and just you, your friends, and the mountains.
Well I was going to post a bunch from Newfoundland, but as luck would have it all of our baggage was lost on our flight home. So… we are moving into day 2 and I am starting to wondering is it coming…
CRAP!
Well assuming we get the baggage and everything is still there I will be happy to fill you in on the rest of the trip that I was unable to due to the fact that no one had Internet after we left St. John’s.
