The weather has changed and so have my plans. I decided to spend another day exploring more locally, then drive home directly.
An icy trail, more waterfalls, and a big mountain: Jasper day 3
The third day I had one goal: hike to the bottom of Kinney Lake and back.
Frozen waterfalls and snowy trails: Jasper day 2
My second day was a waterfalls day.
I started by driving west past the British Columbia border to Mt. Robson Provincial Park. I’ve been through on the way up and wanted to explore some of the waterfalls that I had not visited on my previous trip.
Frozen lakes and big trains: Jasper day 1
I started a bit late after a good night’s sleep. My new friends from last night showed up in the kitchen and dining room even later. We contemplated the day and decided to go our separate ways.
Jasper spring adventure: Hope to Jasper
By the time I got to Valemount, I was ready for the mountains. Mt. Robson obliged. Then the mountains near Moose Lake and around the Continental Divide.
UrbAdv: New York Jan 2024
Back to New York. Unfortunately, weather meant that a couple of meetings I had hoped for were cancelled, but also managed to catch up with one friend I haven’t seen in a while and spontaneously joined a hot chocolate tour. There was also lots of other food.
Starting over
I’ve been mostly absent here for a long time, for lots of reasons. But I’ve got the website finally fixed, and will be slowly updating it with some notes from travel this past year.
UrbAdv: New York Nov 2023
This isn’t the kind of travel this blog was originally set up for. In fact, it feels weird to write an “adventure” blog about “home,” but it also seems odd to visit and not write about it at all.
Kootenay RAT Raid (2)
I enjoyed Nelson, it’s fast becoming a favorite place. The town is full of skiers, motorcyclists, mountain bikers, kayakers, photographers and the like.
Kootenay RAT Raid (1)
I thought two difficult motorcycle trips this summer would mean that the third time might be the charm.
I didn’t get soaked and frozen this time, but “charm” probably doesn’t describe it either.
