I stayed at A&A Accommodations in Jasper, in a basement suite in someone’s home. The suite itself was a cozy, inexpensive place to stay, but the owners made my trip in Jasper truly memorable. When I was telling them about how I wanted to rent a kayak, they immediately offered me use of theirs. Before I knew it, I had the keys to their orange sea kayak which was locked at Pyramid Lake.

I drove up to the lake around 8 PM, when it was still sunny and hot in Jasper, and kayaked around this beautiful lake surrounded by mountains until dusk. The water was so clear that I could see the fish swimming a few metres below me, the air smelled like trees, and the lake was as quiet as could be.
