That time a washed-out bridge turned a 3-day loop into a 5-day epic

We were on the second day of the Skyline Trail in Jasper, and the main bridge over the Maligne River was completely gone from spring runoff. The only detour added 22 miles and forced us to ration our food for two extra days. What's the biggest route change you've ever had to make on the fly?

Did you have to find any extra water sources on that detour?

Yeah @elliot607, that stretch was dry. Packed extra jugs just in case.
