AM - 13 miles. Ran up to Pyramid Lake solo to meet the rest of the crew, then ran back to Jasper with James and Kevin. On the way up I heard a rustle in the bushes and sure enough, about 25 feet to my right was a grizzly bear walking in my direction. Adrenaline surge! Fortunately, he wanted nothing to do with me. We figured the chances of seeing TWO bears in the same run was low, so we ran back to town on the same trail (#15)... and saw three gigantic caribou! It was pretty sweet.

PM - Hiked above the Mt Edith Cavell meadows (~5 miles, 1700').

Drove all the way back down to Canmore, stopping at Tangle Falls, Peyto Lake, and a random spot setup by the Royal Canadian Mounted d-bag Police for a quick demerit.

Let me finish that sentence for you:

Fortunately, he wanted nothing to do with me...because he knew I would wrestle him into submission!

The bear knew the wolves would have appeared and defended me.

Sounds like quite the adventure. I'm glad the bear left you alone.

PS- I love that Allie is wearing CHACO'S! Cuz chaco's are the bomb diggity!

But if you didn't wear mizunos, how would you pick up all the rocks off the ground?
