Another day, another hike - this one was more serious: a 30km one-way trek into Mt. Assiniboine Provincial Park, B.C., from the Mt. Shark trailhead (in Alberta), with camping gear, camera gear and food for three days on my back. It was a long, tiring solo walk, but one of the best adventures of the trip, being rewarded at the end with views like this of Mt. Assiniboine, a peak that has been appropriately termed the Matterhorn of the Canadian Rockies. This park is in my opinion one of the most beautiful natural areas in all of Canada, and I would return here any day.
Spending two nights and three days here, I will write a longer story and share many more photos from this backpacking trip at a later date.

I do now, @dabeckster, because I'm safely at home, reliving the adventures through my photographs, but at the time I was utterly without signal in the park! Thank you. :)

Thanks, Jarvie! I'll tell you a secret: it's one of mine too. Someone asked me today what my favourite photo from the trip was, and it was between this one and the Aurora at Lake O'Hara. I like them for different and similar reasons.

I just did not have time to hike both ways ; we had just done the Tonquin valley in the same week. So we helied in and spent a couple of nights at Magog and then hiked out to sunshine but stayed at Og lake on the way out which was a magic spot.
