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 travels to the Little Yoho Valley continued for three nights (July 8-10). The little bears rested during this time, after the enduring hike to the Stanley Mitchell. Most hikers avoid the Iceline trail, which the bears impressively conquered. The trail is not only the most picturesque view to date, but the most strenuous trek we have experienced. Although our totals for this trip don't match previous, our zeal for the Rockies continue. We logged 14 miles & 2800 ft, bringing our total to 40.1 miles & 11300ft altitude gain. The weather continues to be cooler than normal (45-60f) and very few periods of rain, by the way. We selected a perfect time, considering the sweltering heat in Arizona. We are currently back in Canmore staying at a Best Western for the next two nights.
