KOZ Family ultimate backpacking adventure in the Canadian Rockies. Staring: Papa Bear, Momma Bear, and 4 rowdy baby bears. Ages ranging from age 6 to 11. The goal is to conquer five separate backpacking trips throughout rugged areas in Canada. The longest mini-adventure will last 6 nights in the forest near Jasper. The six bears will backpack/hike about 75-110 total miles. This is no car camping adventure, so leave the microwave and toilet at home.

Our first trail sighting of wildlife. About 6 Marmots were entertaining us as we trekked thru the area. Here is some information about Marmots: large, about the size of a housecat, charismatic sciurid rodents found in the Northern Hemisphere. The only US holiday named after an animal, Groundhog Day, is named after a marmot. (source: http://www.marmotburrow.ucla.edu/ )
