Valemount

Drove from our overnight stop to Valemount, getting here about 12.30 - did see our first black bear and 2 cubs crossing the highway right in front of us, however they were too fast for us to get out cameras out. First stop in Valemoumt, the information centre. WiFi didn't work, but got some maps for walks. Decided the Swift Creek Loop looked doable for the afternoon. The 9km loop took us 3hrs and 12.6 km to do, we did add on the Zen Garden Track (probably another 1.8 km) but also lost our walking track about 2 km from the end and walked an extra 2 ks weaving around a mountain bike track. We did have a dip in the stream at the bridge which was cold but doable, and very refreshing. Then it was time to go and find a spot for the night. Headed towards Kinbasket lake and found a gravel parking area just of the road. Hopefully quieter than last nights which was right next to the highway and just had a constant stream of trucks etc.もっと詳しく
