Come join us for a weekend on the Kootenay Plains in the Cavalcade Meadows group site (site #4) for the 2024 Labor Day Weekend.  We are booked in for Thursday evening through a Monday departure'  Camp fees for the weekend will be:
- 4 nites be $165 per unit/tent/rv/etc.
- 3 nites be $125 per unit
- 2 nites be $ 85 per unit.
Be sure to register only one person... guests will be charged if you register them... Camp fee is per camp unit!  And best to fill up the tent/RV with family and friends to keep the per head cost down!
Camping is rustic, well water, fire pits, usually clean toilets, camp kitchen and NO power!

This is one of the prettiest mountain spots in Alberta!   And there is paddling (big & small lakes and rivers in the area), day hikes in various directions (Siffleur Falls being the most popular), Mtn Biking and even a bit of scrambling can be found!  Our most popular paddling over the years has been the runs on the North Saskatchewan: above Saskatchewan Crossing (two portages), below 'the Crossing (no portages and some fun bits).   And in recent years we've made some forays onto Lake Abraham in the early morning or evening... it has reputation for day time wind.  Last time out we went up and paddled on the Waterfowl lakes S of Saskatchewan Crossing.  And some years on the Monday we've done the run below the Bighorn Dam to the FTR (it can be a bit full of log jams, we'll check with the locals) on the way home.

For the Banff park runs we will have to be cognizant of the 48 hr dry time between water bodies.  I don't think this will affect us if we paddle three days in a row on the NSR.
