I wish I could wake up to this every morning.

We had a pretty easy walk to the trailhead. No one was around so we walked another 2 km to the Boulton Trading Post and got there at 9:30am. We knew we couldn’t check into the Kananaskis Hostel until 5 so we took showers at the campground.
I really need this after 7 days of sweating.
.
It took awhile to get a hitch but 2 rides later we were at the Kananaskis Village. This was built for the Calgary Olympics and isnt really a village. But it does have WiFi, a very small store, Cafe, a few restaurants and expensive lodging. We spent the day there and ate. I had a beer. And ate again.
Beer and dinner.
.
We got another hitch down to the hostel. It’s nice here but no wifi so I’m using my Verizon international plan data.
A bed. Yay. And a day off tomorrow.
