2018 at Tall Timbers in Banff National Park

The camp was located on Bryant Creek and is within easy hiking distance of Mount Assiniboine.
The hike into camp started at the Mt. Shark parking lot and followed the trails into Banff National Park. Although long at 17 km, it was an easy trail to hike. Throughout the week, there were many areas to explore including Magog Lake at Mount Assiniboine, Marvel Lake, Wonder Pass, Og Lake, Allenby Pass, and much more. The photos below are scenes from our visit in 2008 by our photo contest participants.
Camp life provided an interesting contrast to the peacefulness of the trail. Meal times in the dining tent were happy, noisy affairs. The camaraderie continued around the evening campfire where a description of hikes planned for the following day were given. It was also a time for singing, recounting of the day's events and telling of tall tales.
