In last five days we covered 125 kilometers in some magical alpine space. My feet are improving. Drained a nasty infected blister while gazing up at Mt. Assiniboine so much happier!!! The weather is getting steadily better as we move into late July. The bugs are heavy. Apparently dry alpine ridges are a favorite for Canadian mosquitos. I've been bitten so many times now it just doesn't matter. Besides bug repellent attracts bears. Which we did see two grizzly bears in section B. A rare and special occasion for sure. That encounter has given me much to think about. It is different not being the apex species in these woods.
Overall I love it up here the scenery is nothing short of spectacular. Our days are long but our legs are stronger. Enjoy!!
