Companion forum thread to: The Marvel Pass Trail to Mount Assiniboine: Part 3

Second day of an eventful trek to Mount Assiniboine via the Marvel Pass Trail in BC and Alberta, Canada. Today: grizzly bears.

I am really enjoying your series, Emylene. It is a type of backpacking I have only done once in my life. You really bring the experience alive to one for whom it is now a faded memory, both the incredible beauty and the challenges of hiking in that kind of country.

Thank you!

Yup, a good series…

This is a great series, as the others said. I’m wondering if Craig is still your friend? Haha.

PS- never heard of bear bangers until now. Had to look them up!

[Emylene VanderVelden]

Craig still occasionally speaks to me. After two more trips which will be published later, I suspect everyone will give him a free pass on avoiding trips with me ;-) When the mountains call I must go, and I may talk him into a day trip at some point. Backpacking is probably out, wait till you read what happened to us on the West Coast Trail….
