Adventures for Wilderness, X-Country Ski Canmore to Banff – Mar. 15, 2020
March 15, 2020
Led by Jamie Jack
Sometimes you just need to put your phone down, turn off the news, and go on an adventure. As the weekend arrived, a winter storm warning was blowing in – but we were hopeful for sun. After only a one-day delay, we headed off into the wilderness!
Discovering the logistics of getting to the trailhead was only the start of our adventure. Confidently, in our finest animal print, we skied 19 km along Goat Creek and Spray River trails. Fresh, trackset snow and a bluebird day made for forgiving steep descents, and a relaxing trailside picnic. Aware of the recent grizzly sighting, we sang, yodelled, and laughed for four and a half hours! Reconnecting with nature gives you the opportunity to reset emotions and refresh your perspective. To everyone who sponsored our Adventure for Wilderness – Thank you! Remember to get outside, and appreciate Alberta’s natural beauty.
