It was a great weekend in Jasper this past couple days. Amber joined me on Friday night and a friend of ours, Alan joined us from Calgary and we had a terrific time hanging out together. Friday we went out for an awesome sushi dinner and had an early night.
Saturday it was raining and cold and the crew did not want to go mountain biking with me. I was super excited to get out there and bike some of the trails, even if it was raining and cold. I'm glad I was able to convince Amber and Alan to get out there because it was so much fun! We were covered in mud and after we were moving we warmed up enough to keep going a while. We mapped out a new trail and it was a beautiful ride out to Maligne Canyon and back. The whole ride took about 3 hours and aside from stopping for pictures and a bit of sightseeing, we were biking most of the time. Amber and I definitely want to get mountain bikes when spring rolls around.
Sunday Alan was eager to get us into his "domain," we had a trail run planned. We took a drive out to Edith Cavell and it was a tough, tough climb. After about 30 minutes running straight up there was snow on the ground. It was cold but the sun was keeping us warm during the breaks and we were moving consistently enough to stay warm. We did some exploring in an incredible ice cave that had obviously been formed over hundreds of years of water erosion and it was amazing! All in all it was a great weekend with AD and Alan and I can't wait to go back.
