Hike to Elbow Lake
After finding out he trial was back on, we decided to pack as much into the remaining week as possible. That included the possibility of a river and camping trip with Kerry and Adrian and the twins. I was a little concerned, as I had back pain and also we discovered that the back country camp site was full and the river that we were thinking about canoeing was a class III. However our friends were still going camping and hiking and James and I couldn't decide the prior evening whether to just hike and not bother camping. The following morning without discussing it, we found ourselves gathering food, collecting our camping gear and packing the truck to meet our friends on convoy to Kananaskis country.
We pitched our tent and had a leisurely lunch, before starting our hike to Elbow lake at 3 pm

A beautiful evening stroll back down ready for dinner.
By the time we completed the 7.6 km hike it was early evening by the time we got back to the parking lot. Everybody was ready for more snacks to tide them over to dinner. We had a lovely pot luck meal, kids enjoyed " smores" and a campfire and exploring the forest. Another late night after lots of fresh air made for an easy bed time and gave the adults some time to chat and laugh with good old British humour.
Day 2 Mt Infatigable
Only for some
But not for us
The reward of a refreshing swim
