Long Day with a Golden End
Day 37: August 6, 2017: Golden, BC: 520m/832km
We had breakfast at A&W, it is becoming one of our favorite spots at this point. Today was the longest ride, well, it felt like the longest ride. We went through Jasper, through the Icefields Parkway, and Banff, of course stopping for ice cream. We got stuck behind a lot of construction and wandering pedestrian, but the best distraction was the moose wandering next to us. It took an hour from the entrance to the center of Jasper and get ice cream. Opa settled for camping in Golden. We just had to get there, we had a long way to go after wasting so much time in Jasper. We were racing the setting sun and night that was creeping in. We finally gave in and pulled over to put a jacket and gloves on. We pulled into Golden around 9pm. We tried two campgrounds, both were full. We tried the Days Inn, but not for $220 for the night. We finally settled on another campground. Opa is a bit old fashioned, "We can pay in the morning, it's time for bed."
