Day 6: Jasper-Valemount

I left my comfy hostel at eight o’clock in the morning after I tried to sneak out silently and not wake up the others.

It was not raining when I left, but started shortly after. Today was the third day of three that I had to go a bit longer than originally planned in order to be one day ahead of my original schedule. So I had 120 kilometres on my to-do list today.

I took my first break after 35 kilometres at the camping site I had originally planned to stay at. Then I had a lunch break in the middle of nowhere after 70 kilometres and a nice cake and hit chocolate break at the Mount Robson information centre after 85 kilometres.

When I arrived in Valemount, today’s destination, it was partly sunny, partly raining. Since the forecast was really bad, I decided to book a B&B instead of staying on a campsite. But finally, there wasn’t any more rain so far and it doesn’t look like there will be any tonight. So I could have saved the money.

Anyway, the destination tomorrow is Blue River. And I’m afraid it will be an even deader nest than this one.
