Write Up:This was such a full day of hiking that it would have been hard to pack in more. It seems that the only words we needed to utter were "oh, wow!". We passed through the Sunshine Meadows, looked over at the Continental Divide, made our way across Simpson Pass, crossed in and out of Alberta and BC, found a magical lake before Eohippus Lake, were blown away even more by the real Eohippus Lake, ate in a field of glacier lilies, made our way up to the Ramparts, enjoyed vast vistas into BC and over to Assiniboine, hiked along the Continental Divide, passed at least ten lakes, had dinner at Healy Pass, got our dose of Egypt and the Pharaoh, scoped out a campground, had numerous creek crossings, and together probably took a thousand photos. WOW! 26km later we were pleasantly depleted, but with big smiles on our faces. Thank you all for such a wonderful day out in the mountains.
