The Skyline Trail…Day One
A few days ago we returned from a hike in Jasper. We chose to hike the skyline trail as it was my first real hiking experience and the view is supposed to be one of the best in Jasper. David has been on many a hiking trip so he was really guiding us as we traveled with our companions, Nigel, Kevin and Ashley. I guess I didn’t really put much thought into hiking 44km..up the side of a mountain…with close to 40lbs on my back. Well let me tell you, I’ve certainly thought a lot about all that since returning home…
That was quite the experience, physically challenging for me but absolutely one of the best personal experiences I’ve ever achieved! As photographers, we couldn’t leave our cameras at home so we packed those up the side of the mountain too. So happy we chose to bring our cameras with us as I’ve never seen such spectacular images as we did on journey through the Skyline Trail.
Day One… My point of view….I was very excited!!…The view…lots and lots of trees…oh and switch backs. If you want to enjoy the view on the Skyline I suggest traveling at a good pace but stop and enjoy the view as much as possible…We had to stop quite frequently to fill our water bottles and take a few pictures along the way. What a great feeling to make it to the first camp and take off my boots…ahh…great feeling! Enjoy the first part of our trip..I believe the first day we hiked about 5 hours to get to our camp…I’ll update you with day 2, 3 and 4 soon.
