La daabacay: 01.10.2023
After our first night in the self-catering chalet, we took it a little more leisurely today: after a delicious breakfast, we headed towards Lake Pyramid and walked a short hiking trail to Pyramid Island . Once we got there, we were lucky to be able to visit the island as it was closed for a wedding from midday today. But we were there early enough to be able to walk around the island undisturbed.
From Pyramid Island we followed a trail to Patricia Lake to switch to another trail there. So we were able to walk a beautiful circular route over smaller lakes, through coniferous and birch forests to the starting point of our hike.
We then returned to our chalet, which is located directly on the Athabasca River , and took a short evening walk along a section of a trail towards the Valley of the 5 Lakes . Afterwards we ended the day on a bench in front of our chalet and enjoyed the rays of sunshine that pushed through the cloudy sky towards the afternoon.
