Comments

We took the opportunity to check on the caribou’s home while they’re on vacay. All is well in Maligne Pass but temps went up quickly to 0°C today despite a forecast high of -5 and snowfall in the morning. There is ample deadfall on the route, but none uncrossable. Bridges all in good condition.
