We arrived home last night from our trip to Alberta. Jeremy absolutely loved spending time in the mountains - he said it was the best trip he'd ever been on! Our second week there the smoke from the fires in BC finally started to clear out, so these pictures of the mountains are MUCH better.
Peyto Lake
We saw incredible scenery for 230 km along Icefields Parkway from Lake Louise to Jasper
Athabasca Glacier at Columbia Icefield
Patricia Lake
Pyramid Lake
Medicine Lake. This lake was named "Big Medicine Lake" by natives, because it mysteriously disappeared every winter and reappeared every summer. Big Medicine referred to magic - the natives were afraid of the magic they thought caused this disappearance. The secret is small fissures in the bedrock of the lake - when melted snow isn't filling the lake during the winter, the water leaks out.
Lake Louise
We're already brainstorming our next trip to Canada to visit friends and snowboard!
Love -
K
