We drove to our launch location from Hinton. I got to spend a couple of hours reminiscing about my time there eons ago! There is still only one car wash. ;-) I was impressed that I was able to find the building where I rented an appartment. I know I stayed on the 3rd floor but I couldn't remember which unit.
It took a bit of coordination but eventually we got 14 people loaded into 2 voyager canoes with one regular canoe as cargo. Yes, when we go canoeing the regular backcountry weight restrictions go out the window! I do love canoeing because you get to see a remote location but still travel in style!
We paddled ~22km to the other end of the lake. We stopped at Spirit Island (famous on all Jasper photos). It took about 5 hours of paddling to get there. It's much faster going in the voyager canoes!
It rained on and off... Of course we only have pictures of when it wasn't raining!
