I can’t say enough how yesterdays simple little hike was so amazing. I will definitely come later in summer when more of the trails are open. I’m sure Vlad is saying what is wrong with hiking in the snow 🙂
I was out of Lake Louise by around 10am and as I headed for the Parkway highway, the trans Canada just looked too inviting as it was super wide, flat and appeared to be downhill whereas the Parkway had an immediate climb and a lot of up and down sections. I made a spli decision and headed down the Trans Canada and what a good decision. Being Sunday (I actually had to look that up as days of the week are now meaningless to me) the traffic was very light, I would say less than 10 vehicles passing each minute. The road was downhill but because it is so wide and long you wouldn’t have known it. I actually hooked up my odometer this morning and though it has the wrong tire size registered I was easily over 35km/hr with effortless pedalling.
