When nature calls…right!?!
All jokes aside, this is one of our favorite things to do with what we have created. Hike to a seemingly pristine area, find all the micro-trash and other litter around, and pack it out.
Today we journeyed up the Lake Agnes Tea House just outside of Banff & Lake Louise Tourism and got to work. For as much traffic as this trail sees on a daily basis, its very clean, but we always try and help where we can.
We learned at the top that since the area is in such extreme fire danger, that they are packing out all trash down the trail as well from the tea house, so we offered to take a bag down for them.
Throughout our hike up and down the 4 mile trail, we filled our Waste Basket and Rubbish Bin with as much as we could. A lot of people saw what we were doing and asked if we worked for the parks service. “Nope, this is just what we do” we usually reply. Sometimes we get stares, sometimes we get high fives.
It really is amazing how clean these trails are with the amount of multi-cultural travelers this area sees. Way to go National Parks Canada for helping to keep this area so beautiful!
