Trip Report: Canadian Siberia

We went for a round of shots on Friday. Before you think 'Yeah you did,' it was not as fun as it sounds. We hit the travel clinic and got jabbed with enough vaccines to give an elephant 'the autism.' Yellow fever, typhoid, seasonal flu, and scrips for traveller's diarrhea and altitude sickness. Kilimanjaro, we coming for you!

I spent this past week in Winnipeg, aka Canadian Siberia. While it was chilly the first day, the scenes from out the airplane window and on the ground were incredibly beautiful and stark. <-- Imagine that, a Game of Thrones reference that isn't just 'Winter is coming'...

Snowshoeing to Rawson Lake

Photos. Snowshoeing. Nuff Said.

Actually, no. I guess for people that are interested, maybe it's not quite enough detail. We took advantage of the mild weather today and headed out to Kananaskis, to snowshoe in from Upper Kananaskis Lake to Rawson Lake. It was a shortish route, about 8km round trip, ending up at the base of Mt. Sarrail. The trail was pretty packed down, so even if you don't have snowshoes, you'd be fine with a pair of hikers. What are you waiting for? GO!
