They have a wonderful house with a lot of random knickknacks. But every time we go there there is a hike. Most of the time it is super long and fun. This time around it was extreme.]]> 2019-12-05 22:13:28 UTC https://padlet.com/gmurray707/11c6vhe128yu/wish/420524414 gmurray707 https://padlet.com/gmurray707/11c6vhe128yu/wish/420525651 To start this crazy adventure I wake up around 7 and get ready to walk. A little later and we start to drive the 2 hour journey with snacks and phones in hand. Once there we take our backpacks and admire the beauty of the Fairmont Chateau a  beautiful hotel that is the start of the hike.  ]]> 2019-12-05 22:17:49 UTC https://padlet.com/gmurray707/11c6vhe128yu/wish/420525651 gmurray707 https://padlet.com/gmurray707/11c6vhe128yu/wish/420530708 Once we find the right path we hike on the path taking photos and looking at nature a quarter into our hike we come across a lake that just stinks. Its unpleasant odor hunts our noses relentlessly. we leave by running up the path. ]]> 2019-12-05 22:35:26 UTC https://padlet.com/gmurray707/11c6vhe128yu/wish/420530708 gmurray707 https://padlet.com/gmurray707/11c6vhe128yu/wish/420532985 once at the lake where we usual stop and turn back My dad tells me lets go a little further to see what is around the bend. we start hiking up again not know how far it really is. With the paths getting narrow and becoming faint. It starts to become entangle with roots and rocks. I can just start to see the top.]]> 2019-12-05 22:43:06 UTC https://padlet.com/gmurray707/11c6vhe128yu/wish/420532985 gmurray707 https://padlet.com/gmurray707/11c6vhe128yu/wish/420534923 I turn the final corner and i see the top. A outpost among the trees and over looking the grandest views of all time. looking down i see nothing but trees. at that moment i get this weird feeling of belonging to my family and nature. after that we start to hike down.]]> 2019-12-05 22:50:18 UTC https://padlet.com/gmurray707/11c6vhe128yu/wish/420534923 gmurray707 https://padlet.com/gmurray707/11c6vhe128yu/wish/420536056 hiking back was strangle rewarding knowing that I accomplish hiking that far and that long. but driving back my family stopped in canmore a small town that has the best ice cream ever. The old school bus where they serve ice cream out of a old school bus. looking back i can see where i was hiking. That is when i felt really proud of myself ]]> 2019-12-05 22:54:46 UTC https://padlet.com/gmurray707/11c6vhe128yu/wish/420536056
