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.

The view of our top bunk for the past three nights. Very simplistic, but the morning views of the snow capped mountains from the window were spectacular. What an experience for everyone. The adventure at the hut was quite communal. Everyone participated equally in all of the chores from cleaning dishes and floors, gathering water, and cooking. Our meals were quite simplistic compared to other hut visitors. Most brought gourmet meals consisting of fresh herbs, vegetables and even meat. We often heard the sounds of chopping on a cutting board and clanking of a wooden spoon on skillet pan, and the aroma of fresh garlic and onion during dinnertime. As for the hut, there were two building housing 16 hikers in the main building and and 8 in the other. There were two sleeping bunks in each hut. The main hut has a fully equipped cooking area complete with a gas oven. The chorus of snoring was very interesting nighttime sound. Thank God I am a heavy sleeper, otherwise, earplugs are a must.

Is that snow on the ledge?
Jim
I'd like to see more photos of Mama Bear!
I assume there will be steaks galore once you return to civilization--like, at a "fancy" place. That's to off-set the humble food on the
trail. . . :-)
The scenery is breathtaking, however.
Nope, actually it is the foamy mats that support our sleeping bags.
