What is it with you guys in the US and your imperial system! Probably the only ones left in the world! lol

well the Columbia icefields is one big block of perma ice so anything near there is cold! Some of the snow caps never fully melt and it's totally badass! I'm sure that week of 40 celcius (there is another one for you to do math on :D)we got after my trip probably melted a lot of that badassery, this trip was taken the last week of June.

That bear, what a catch for sure! I will forever be patting myself on the back for that one! I handled it like a big girl too!

I know 10 miles doesn't sound like much to a regular person. I had covid 2 months ago and I have long covid now and all messed up. walking that much in one day is actually quite an accomplishment, I still have to take breaks from making dinner or taking a shower since I got sick.
