Ared sky is rising over the Rockies as the shuttle bus pulls out of Jasper and

rattles into the backcountry. The bus is rammed with hikers, chatting and

double-checking their packs for supplies. Outside, pine forest blurs past the

windows, and above the treeline, I catch glimpses of saw-tooth peaks, crests tinted

pink by the morning sun. Everyone’s excited about the hike, but there’s a crackle of

trepidation too: an adventure’s guaranteed, but no one’s sure quite what the

mountains have in store.
