Got up really early as we had to be out of our hostel room in Whister by 11:00. We laft our luggage at the hostel, while Amy and I headed back into the village to firstly go for a walk up Cougar Mountain to look at the cedar trees, which we were told are over 1000 years old! Then the plan was to do our tree activity "Monkido" after. Well, that plan didn't work! We were really annoyed that we couldn't go up Cougar Mountain, as apparently the Cedar trees were around 7km away and not right by the Monkido activity where the woman who we booked it all with had told us! We were also warned that there had been a bear sighted in the area and that we wouldn't be allowed even if we made it up there!
So, we decided to take another walk to where wwe ventured yesterday, but this time head to Lost Lake.
Lost Lake was amazing and I'm actually really disappointed that we didn't have enough time to walk around the whole lake.
At 2pm we caught a mini bus up to Monkido which was so much fun! I really enjoyed it and would definately do it again! Towards the end, where it got harder I had to sit out for 10minutes as I was knackered! It was physically challenging! The guide Jonno was really helpful and encouraging though. My favourite was definately the zip lines - I could have done this all day! This activity tired us out completely, which made us ready for our 19hour bus ride to Banff!........
