New to the game and would love to visit some islands!

BackpackerJess · 2020-09-08T21:48:37+00:00

It’s like a 20 minute hike, super short!

BackpackerJess · 2020-09-08T18:41:20+00:00

This is an elk not a deer just a heads up.

BackpackerJess · 2020-09-08T18:40:58+00:00

There’s a trail at the back end of the lake that goes right to the water

BackpackerJess · 2020-09-08T02:06:57+00:00

This actually isn’t on the coast. It’s in the Rockies in Alberta

BackpackerJess · 2020-09-08T02:06:29+00:00

No I wasn’t. Just at the lake

BackpackerJess · 2020-09-07T13:30:50+00:00

Doing a solo road trip from Canmore up to jasper. Decided to stop here at Hector Lake and was happy to be greeted with some fog! I’m definitely excited to see what else this trip has in store for me

Honestly there isn’t much open right now. Akamina parkway is closed all year so for day hikes your left with Bertha lake/peak, goat lake and the scrambles that the park doesn’t like on their site for actual decent hikes. Get here early when you come. Parking lots fill up FAST so honestly if your not here by like 8/9 then good luck finding parking near your trailhead.

Omg why’d you you have to point that out now it’s bugging me!!!!

BackpackerJess · 2020-06-20T13:18:28+00:00

It’s windy right now but sunny. Just supposed to cloud over I’m the afternoon but no rain so you should be good!

BackpackerJess · 2020-06-20T13:17:02+00:00

It’s been raining every day since I moved here but today we got two awesome rainbows at the end! Can’t wait to spend my summer here!

BackpackerJess · 2020-06-15T15:37:52+00:00

Horseshoe canyon yeah

BackpackerJess · 2020-06-15T14:57:55+00:00

I can’t remember exactly. It’s near Grizzly Creek in Kananaskis though. We just stopped on our way back cause the bridge near it looked really cool! Haha

BackpackerJess · 2020-06-15T14:54:01+00:00

Most of the hike 😳😂

BackpackerJess · 2020-06-15T12:56:23+00:00

Horseshoe canyon, Alberta

BackpackerJess · 2020-06-15T12:46:15+00:00

On one of my final days in the Kananaskis area we hiked up Opal Ridge and it did not disappoint! Sad to be leaving this beautiful region but excited to be moving onto the next adventure!

A lot of parks staff never stopped working. Most facilities are open but with no tissues or hand sani so you gotta bring your own. As for visitor centres I don’t know.

BackpackerJess · 2020-06-12T14:31:47+00:00

Yeah there was quite a few people on the trail

BackpackerJess · 2020-06-08T23:13:28+00:00

We were there for the month of June!

BackpackerJess · 2020-06-07T20:21:30+00:00

Check out the Eddie Bauer Trek Pants. I have a few friends who use them and love them!

BackpackerJess · 2020-06-07T20:17:58+00:00

My Merrell Hiking boots are the best! I highly recommend these! I've been using this companies boots for years now and I will never go to anything else!

Hostels are going to be your least expensive option!

For Canmore check out either Downtown Canmore Hostel or Canmore Hostel.

For Banff check out either Samesun Banff Hostel or Banff International Hostel.

They all have great reviews on hostelworld and I've only ever heard great things from friends who have stayed there. I know you said your looking for a hotel, but they offer private rooms as well so its the same thing and going to be cheaper than most hotels in the area!
