The Icefields




We had a blast on our 25 min heli tour to the Wilson Icefield tour, a bit windy but the views were amazing. So much snow in those mountains, abnormally high amount for that time of year... interesting...



The day after our heli-tour we left the two-o-clock creek campsite and headed to Jasper to camp at the Wilcox campground at the Icefields for a couple of nights.

We hiked, relaxed, camped... so much fun... although Garth sprained his ankle on the Wilcox Pass hike... Pika and Maya were determined to chase a ground squirrel while attached to Garth's waist, we made it down the pass but the hike took about 7 hrs in total... silly Pika and Maya...

hehe, we took so many photos ;-)




stay tuned for our next adventure... first two weeks of August to escape to the Carpenter Creek valley... can't wait...
