Cranberry Marsh trail in Valemount BC is an easy loop around the wetland with two lookout towers for better viewing opportunities. Most notable for its seasonal waterfowl, May 1st was still too early and also left part of the trail submerged. Dust throughout the valley made the surrounding mountains look lake mirages when the wind kicked up. Extra photos are views of the surrounding mountain ranges and pissibly a boardwalk with the marshes before they got going in the forefront, as well as an American coot scooting past and a Canadian Goose with its head down.
At this point I was maybe an hour west of Jasper, but I went west for a bit. Good recreation sites to the west that offer free camping. I’m sticking to hikes for the daily posts, but I’ll maybe post some of the other stuff on a different community at some point.
