I survived my first backpacking hike involving 2 nights of camping, which happened a few weeks ago on a gloriously sunny weekend. Thankfully my knees withstood the weight of extra food, clothing, and camping equipment. I might even do it again...
Day 1 entailed a 12km hike with 11 other (mostly younger) hikers on a trail parallel to Burstall Creek in Peter Lougheed Provincial park, across Burstall Pass and into Banff National Park where we reached our camp ground...with some opportunities to quickly capture most of the major peaks along the way on a small 3.5x5.5in Moleskine sketchbook.
