Great Divide Trail Section E (Saskatchewan River Crossing to Jasper)- Day 1.
After a 14 hour drive from Vancouver Island, me and Giddy were super excited to start our dream backpacking trip on the GDT! We started at the Owen Creek trailhead and were immediately rewarded with a spectacular canyon and ever increasing mountain views! After a 1000+m climb, we hit our first pass of the trip- Owen Pass at 2468m! A short descent along a massive escarpment took us to the Kool-Aid blue Michele Lakes. I cooked an inedible curry (I'm not always a cooking pro) and we set up camp.
*Note: This would be an awesome day hike or weekend backpacking trip!

The Osprey Aether AG 70 held up well carrying 10 days of food (and I eat a lot!): [ Ссылка ]
My new tent, the Big Agnes Copper Spur HV UL2, was crazy light and survived some crazy mountain storms and snow: [ Ссылка ]
For filming, I used the GoPro Hero 7 and the Sony A6000:
