Well we woke up today to no fresh snow and decided Kicking
Horse did not deserve our almost $200 for lift tickets. Skiing on Tuesday was not the best without
fresh snow. Plan B kicked into gear and
after a leisurely start which included a few downward dogs and pushups, we were
off to hike Wapta Falls in Yoho National Park.
The hike was 8.6 kms round trip and the trail was hard packed. No snowshoes needed. We forgot our new grippers which was
disappointing but only a few spots would have benefitted from the chains on our
feet. The hike is fairly level gaining
and losing very little altitude until you reach the falls and drop about 100
feet down to the river. There was substantial tree fall along the way we had to navigate, over, under and around. We took about
100 pictures.

There was just us and one
other couple there so we could take lots of pics with no people in the
way. The other couple was a professional
photographer so we got him to take our picture together with our camera.

| Tailgate lunch |
After hiking we had a tailgate lunch of crackers and cheese and a couple of apples. At this rate I should be able to melt a bit of Julie Fay away.
On the 20 minute drive back from YOHO park we stopped and hiked another 3kms below the new bridge on hwy 1 into Golden. It is quite an engineering feat.
We are now packing up to get a decent start tomorrow as we head to Revelstoke for 2 days of skiing. They are expecting a bit of fresh snow but not a lot. All the hills could do with a bit more snow. Julie and Dawson
