Photos!

So, it turns out all the camping in Fernie was filled up, so we've ended up at the hostel here...which means meeting folks doing the same routes as us (one in the opposite direction, one diverging at this point to head south down the continental divide trail), showers, laundry, and a chance to post some photos.

Enjoy!
