Upside Down Cake: Backpack Baking"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>We are so fortunate to be able to live in one of the world&#8217;s most beautiful areas&#8230;the Rocky Mountains.\u00a0 They are within minutes of our door step and we have an amazing amount of hiking, and camping close by.\u00a0 Every year, I request that we make our yearly treck into a place called Fish Lake, which is located in the Top of the World Provincial park.\u00a0 It is about an hour drive from our home on the highway, and approximately another 45-60 minutes on a bush road.\u00a0\u00a0 We have headed into Fish Lake during all seasons, but my favourite is always summertime.\u00a0 The lake at the top is stunningly clear and the hike in is warm and casual.\u00a0\u00a0 It&#8217;s just over 6 kilometers in, and has a relatively small elevation gain . . .\u00a0 which of course is lovely when you&#8217;re carrying a 50 lb pack on your back!\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Being that this is my absolute favourite place to backpack into, camp and enjoy the cell-phone free zone, the only thing I could imagine making it better is warm, fresh cake!\u00a0 I&#8217;ve always wanted to make a Pineapple Upside Down Cake, and I finally had the chance to do so in this trip.\u00a0 I thought it was perfect treat to be able to bake in the backpack oven.\u00a0 The colours from the pineapple and the cherries stood out beautifully against the stunning scenery.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Our friend Kelli joined us on this trip.\u00a0 She&#8217;s an avid hiker and camper, so we knew she&#8217;d be a great one to have along to enjoy the hike and scenery.\u00a0 Unfortunately once we got to camp, she had some problems with her allergies, so we didn&#8217;t get to see much of her.\u00a0 Or maybe she was just sick of us and was so happy to be rid of us!\u00a0 Just kidding Kelli!\u00a0 We knew she was in rough shape for a bit, but she powered through and was ready to bake by morning!\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Paul&#8217;s been experimenting with some more of the camera work on our recent trips and videos, and I think he&#8217;s doing such an amazing job.\u00a0 In this one, he&#8217;s using the GoPro Black for the hiking scenes, and the time lapses.\u00a0 He still was using the DSLR for the baking footage.\u00a0 I love that he is so talented . . . definitely works in my favour \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\"
