We sleep in a little but decide there is time for a quick hike before we head out for Banff. The Walk-in-the-Past starts right in camp and tells some of the story of early railroad times in the valley. At the trailhead we find a sign “closed to entry”. The trail that would have led us past railroad wreckage is closed for a derailment cleanup operation. Hmm, that is a pretty good indication of what railroading in this valley is all about.
We pack up and head out.
