Adventures in the outdoors
It was time to hit the big city on the west coast and see what it had to offer us. We left off on our last part spending the night in Merritt. As we predicted, the party and preparation for their music festival went well into the night.

It is time to leave Banff behind and make our way further west. We have no set path and we will drive until we find a place to camp for the night.

It was only 9:00, but they told us that we were already starting too late and that parking lots would be full and there would be very limited parking on the road. We were still wrapping our heads around just how busy the park is these days.

We love going home, but for the past few years we’ve been wanting to travel to some new places and show Hayden something new.
