So rather than spend the first weekend post-Europe relaxing and catching up on sleep, I decided to do a crazy long hike with a hiking group! It seemed like a lot more fun than cleaning and buying groceries. The hike of choice for today was Memorial Lakes, located in Bow Valley Wildland Provincial Park in Kananaskis Country. I’m not sure what the elevation gain was, but the trail was 16 km, and we crossed 3 lakes. According to the plaque at the third lake, the “three mountain lakes have been named and dedicated to the memory of thirteen people who lost their lives in three aircraft accidents in Kananaskis Country in June 1986.” Overall, the hike was pretty gruelling :S, but well worth it! And after 7.5 hours of hiking, it was time to go home. A hot shower never felt so good… 🙂
