Day 6, Grande Cache to Jasper leg. Up early to tackle Bess Pass, climbing 500m over 3km. A sign just past the top of the pass indicated we’d now entered Jasper National Park. We then descended 500m over 5km to spend the day route finding on the braided channels of Chown Creek and the upper reaches of the Smoky River. Nothing wild or weird happened today, just a sunshiney day, riding good horses over 25km in spectacular wilderness, enjoying incredible scenery. Yeah, it was horrible. |
