Spent the mid-week camping alongside the Athabasca river, just south of the falls. The wonderful thing about living in a national park is that all of this is literally just a walk away (or a half-hour drive, if you want the luxury of an outhouse with toilet roll and a ready made fire-pit)
Managed to get the Mantis (that orange triangle there) up in record time, and I got to find out the correct way to climb a pine tree.
The Athabasca river is COLD, too cold to do anything other than paddle up to your ankles for a maximum of 90 seconds. It also flings along a current that would sweep away any living thing, it served as a gorgeous backdrop, a lovely noise to sleep by and
made a nice breeze to escape the 90F heat.
