To the Mountains

A trip to BC is not complete without some camping.  We chose to go back to Glacier National Park, two hours east of the farm, where we last camped when Victoria was one year old (you can see a photo from the 2004 visit further down in the blog):

At the end of Great Glacier trail plus a bit.

Fun photo - the young couple who took the photos for us also took some photos of us setting up for the shoot.

Yup, this was an easy hike says Benjamin.  Note the boots and 443 (MH) Squadron hat.

Impressive bridges that Parks Canada has put in.

Lots of bear sightings while we were there but we did not see any.

The kids were always the ones to get the fire going and to look after it.  I guess I am out of a job.

A bit of rain at the end of the camp.  Benjamin helping strike camp.

Stopped at the "Last Spike" on the drive back. An important part of Canadian history.
