Finally doing my overnight bikepackrafting trip! Still making my way to the park where I'll put in, needing breaks for my unhappy legs. Will be nice to switch to boat mode!

Am a bit behind schedule (LEGS) so lunch at the park is not happening. But this little farm store is very fortuitously located! Now I have dessert and snacks for later, too!

A bit late, hope I make it to my campsite before dark 😬

I didn't make it as far as I wanted, just ended up too far behind schedule and too tired. Found a nice island to camp on though.

No photos for now, internet sucks here lol.

Ok, I'm home, showered, fed and ready to share more photos.

The North Sask is so beautiful just west of the city! Parts of it are almost canyon-like with the tall cliffs lining either side.

Lots of wildlife, too, including moose, tons of beavers, lots of bald eagles, and more.

(Sorry for the bad wildlife photos, taken with my phone sealed inside a dry sleeve)

In many ways, I find that the landscape to the east of Edmonton is even wilder, very soon after leaving Capilano. It also feels like it's a faster journey to get from there to Fort Saskatchewan. I think there are limited camping options, though.

@EllenInEdmonton

I've thought about doing that leg, and might even be able to do it in a day, but it would be a long day and would probably realistically need to spend the night in the Fort before heading back.

I love Lions' Campgrounds: have stayed in Devon and Red Deer several times.
