SEPTEMBER 2023
My family and I set out on a road trip through the Canadian Rockies. We had been to Banff many times but had yet to drive the Icefields Parkway all the way to Jasper. This time we were finally going to do it. We were intentional about making stops to enjoy various hikes and viewpoints along the way.
After fracturing my tibial plateau and tearing my ACL while skiing back in March 2023 I was finally about to get knee surgery in a week. I had a lot of limitations that made the various hikes on this trip a challenge. But I was determined to do what I WAS capable of and experience as much as possible regardless. I'm grateful that God made me a determined and ambitious person haha. It still brings me joy to reflect on the hikes I did to places like Peyto Lake, Grassi Lakes and Moose Lake. I thank God for his kindness in enabling me to make beautiful memories with my family and return home with a phone filled with tons of wonderful photos and painting inspiration.
