Day 15: Jasper

After two weeks of full-speed adventures and minimal sleep, exhaustion finally caught up with us today. We embraced a much-needed, very slow start to the morning, completely leaning in to an 11:00 a.m. breakfast.

Eventually, we mustered the energy for a gorgeous hike around the Valley of the Five Lakes. We made sure to build in a long snack break just to sit back and truly soak in the stunning surroundings.

Back at the RV, we knocked out a few chores and prepped for tomorrow’s travel day before heading out for a family bike ride. Our initial plan to cruise along the river turned out to be a bit of a bust, but we did get to watch some rafters floating by, which was a fun surprise. We ended up pivoting and exploring the loops around our campground instead.

Through it all, Nicholas remained on high alert, keeping his eyes to the sky to capture any airplanes flying overhead.
