The third day of our journey took was pretty darn boring, to be honest. Once we left Grasslands National Park we headed West towards Alberta. For a good portion of this trip, we were on the Trans Canada Highway. This is a monstrous ribbon of tarmac snaking its way across the entire country. It is also one heck of a boring drive. You are cruising along at a high speed with lots of traffic making it very difficult to pull over and take photos if you see anything interesting. To keep it short we tried to scoot through this section pretty quickly.
We ended up cutting straight across Alberta and through Crows Nest Pass. We ended up at a little hostel somewhere in Central BC. It was truly a stunning place with great mountain views and a little wood-fired sauna that we got to enjoy in the evening.
Enroute to the Hostel
The following morning we woke up and went for a short hike on one of the local trails. It took us up to the top of a cliff overlooking the valley. You could see the small cabins dotted across the landscape. I felt drawn to this place. This is how we should be living I thought. Close to nature, getting outside and exploring our natural surrounds. not locked up in a massive house in the suburbs watching Netflix.
Get outside, talk to a stranger have a real conversation with someone. The world is not all that bad.
