The GDT never fails to impress. And humble. As per usual it seems, didn't make it as far as planned. But 165km of backpacking through some of the most stunning, remote landscapes around can't be beat for a summer vacation! taken in Great Divide Trail by @marktothedonald

A wee bit nippy out, but was a great morning to set a PR in the 10km! Lovely time at the St Patrick's Day road race. by @marktothedonald

Had an amazing week up in Section G of the GDT, clearing brush and maintaining trail with the @gdtassociation and an awesome crew! About 25kms from Shale pass to near Casket Creek is easier to travel now. So lucky to spend time in such remote, gorgeous country! After 3 trail maintenance trips up here, now I just need to actually hike it! taken in Great Divide Trail by @marktothedonald

Little bit smoky, bit rainy, bit cold, bit sunny... Little bit of everything this weekend. Every weekend spent in the backcountry is a good weekend! Had a lot of fun with the south and north Kananaskis pass loop. taken in South Kananaskis Pass by @marktothedonald

When AB Parks cancels your backpacking permit due to high snow levels, gotta pivot! Booked the first campsite I could find, and got 3 great hikes in. Can't wait for more summer in the rockies! taken in Kananaskis Country by @marktothedonald

Jackpine valley trail maintenance round 2! Amazing week in the wilds of Section G of the GDT. 100s of mosquito bikes, many km's hiked with allll the trail clearing gear, 18kms or so rushed out and cleared of deadfall, a great group of people, and a whole lotta backcountry bliss. What a great vacation! #greatdividetrail #thruhiking #trailmaintenance @gdtassociation taken in Great Divide Trail by @marktothedonald
