Heading to Jasper (sort of)
Icefields Parkway (Alberta, Canada)
We booked three nights in Jasper a few months ago. However, the place we booked burned to the ground during the 2024 Jasper Wildfires (less than three weeks before we got there). So we found a place in Golden instead. On our way to Golden from Banff, we drove up the Icefields Parkway as far as was permitted before heading to Golden. Amazing scenery! While it’s a bummer that we didn’t get to experience Jasper, maybe this will encourage us to come back someday to see what we couldn’t this time.
Surprise Corner to Hoodoos Trail is not for bikes
Biking Banff
I’ve never been this far from home with my actual bike before. Very fun.
Regarding the title of this photo, this trail allows bikes, but there are some very steep sections–some of which include stairs even–that bikes don’t do well on. Hence, we locked our bikes up after just a few hundred meters into the 10+ km trail and did the rest on foot. Great trail BTW (and not crowded until the Hoodoos Overlook). Highly recommend!
Hoodoos Viewpoint
Mt. Rundle, Bow River, and Hoodoos
We were 6+ miles into our 10 or so miles of hiking on this day when we were rewarded with this view. We had it all to ourselves for about two minutes and then 40+ people, who had merely driven to this spot, showed up. Back to the trail and Surprise Corner we went.
