Roche Miette Hike (5.2m Round Trip Easy / Moderate)

We kinda messed up this one, but I think it all worked out quite nicely. This hike is in Jasper National Park close to the Miette road in a little roadside pullout. From the small parking area there is a more popular path going right up to Roche Miette, along a fire road, for the popular scramble at the end. We took the other path, with the intention of going into the canyon. Both trails meet up if you want to make a little loop out of it. We intended to do a loop but conditions did not allow it, but I will get into later.

Laughing Falls Hike (4.67m one way) Easy

This one was a gooder. I think this might be my new favourite hike. The hike starts at the Takakaw Falls parking lot in Yoho National Park. This hike is part of a bigger trail system so you can either extend or shorten the hike if you want. I think the reason I enjoyed the hike was all the different stops along the way.

Allstones Lake Trail (8.8km Round Trip) Moderate-Hard

The Allstones Lake Trail is a fairly popular (for the area) trail along the David Thompson Highway near Nordegg. It was an 8.8km hike for us with 654m of elevation gain.

BATUS Canyon - 1.3km Each Way (Easy with Scramble at end)

I had mixed feelings about this hike just after completing it, but it has been growing on me since then. The basic summary of this hike is: go right up the side of the mountain, steadily getting steeper, until you’re scrambling up to the viewpoint. Before setting off I really recommend purchasing a trail guide to help you find the start, as there is no cell service in the area.
