					<description><![CDATA[In the summer of 2018 we spent a week backpacking in the Rocky Mountains near Lake Louise, Alberta, conquering a trail known as the route to Skoki Lodge. We roughed it, camping out of whatever we lugged on our backs up the nearly-twenty kilometer hike. Dehydrated food, lightweight gear, water filtered from a mountain stream, [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m still working on my new comic, but in the meantime I&#8217;ve been digging through the archives of my previous strip and realizing that there are dozens of stories about hiking, camping, and outdoor sports. For example, after a particularly expensive outfitting trip to the local camp-gear store, I was inspired to draw &#8220;Be Prepared!&#8220; [&#8230;]]]></description>

Sadly, much of that land is at least three or four hours of driving away&#8230; so nothing is close enough for a quick weekend [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[High up and nestled in a mountain valley above Lake Louise, Alberta, the Skoki trail is a moderately challenging adventure hike. Sure, you could helicopter in, and sure, you could stay at the lodge (which has hosted celebrities and royals.) Or, you can hike the distance up and over the summit, into the valley and [&#8230;]]]></description>
