Another fall adventure with my spirited little bro! Nathan reached out in hopes of connecting, and we settled on an ambitious single night excursion near the middle(ish) point between Calgary and Nelson. We enjoyed dinner and an evening in his RV Friday night, followed by a big out-and-back tour of Lake of the Hanging Glacier Saturday before parting ways. Nathan and I don't see each other very often, and this short and sweet adventure provided some deeply refreshing quality time while indulging our mutual love of the great outdoors. The perfect autumn weather and stunning scenery was the cherry on top of an all around excellent weekend!

| I think Nathan is excited. |

| Some prefer to take the road less travelled. |
 |
| We stopped to explore this lovely waterfall. |

| Not sure what to say about this photo... |

 |
| Jumbo Glacier is aptly named. |

Amazing destination!
