Day 8- Great Divide Trail Section E- Skyline Trail
We hiked from Trapper Creek campsite into Maligne Lake, grabbing a coffee and watching a moose swim! We then started up the Skyline Trail and did a little detour up a peak from Little Shovel Pass. We camped at the Snowbowl campground.
Day 9- We hiked from the Snowbowl campground to the Tekerra campground, on the Skyline Trail. Unfortunately, the day went from cloudy with sprinkles to torrential rain and snow with strong winds. My batteries died in the cold and we were running, so I didn't capture any video of this section. While it wins as "most miserable hiking day ever" for both of us, we have to be grateful that we avoided hypothermia.
Day 10, we hiked 25km to Jasper separately. I hiked out at 4am to the highway and hitchhiked to Saskatchewan River Crossing to grab the car. The drive on the Icefields Parkway was amazing! Giddy hiked to Jasper and tried replacing her broken pack (frame broke on day 2), but with no success. We met at the hostel, restocked our food, and ate a massive supper!
