|  |
Completing the second longest loop on the toughest backpacking trail in Algonquin Park requires a lot of perseverance. It was great to see plenty of it in each and every one of our experienced backpackers: Jessie, Chetan, Mark and Fanny!
We've done the entire loop counterclockwise over 3 days. Saturday was a challenging 19km walk. Sunday was even harder - we woke up at 6am and spent 12 hours on the trail. We then took it relatively easy on Monday, walking 13km.
The long days on the trail flew by quickly with exciting conversation, tasty food, and refreshing swimming. It was a pleasure to lead this trip and I hope to see everyone again soon.
