I suppose I did take a zero day at otter falls cutoff, but still today was supposed to be a zero day since I did two days' worth of mileage yesterday. I think I'm going to retool the itinerary once more.
I did get 30 some odd miles in on the bicycle. However, I also got 15 miles in hiking. Kluane National Park is quite majestic. The tallest mountains in Canada are in this park. They are also some of the youngest at only 10 million years old.
Anyway, woke up and had a nice breakfast on the beach and got some pictures of camp in the morning light.
Then, I got moving, though with plenty of picture stops. Stopped at the Tachal Dhal visitor center to get some hiking info. Did a loop up the Buillion Plateau Trail and down the Sheep Creek Trail.
For the first half, I did something I typically despise. I played music out loud while hiking!! Being alone and seeing so much bear poop along the way, I needed to be making some noise. Got some serious rain towards the end of the hike. But, the sun came out shortly after I got back on the bike and dried out my soaked clothes.
Checked out Destruction Bay and then found myself a spot for the night.
