British Columbia - Aqua Blue Lakes to Icefields

GRIZZLY, LAKE LOUISE, GLACIER: August 11 - After we left Banff, we traveled along the gorgeous freeway and stopped to see a grizzly, a huge waterfall, Lake Louise (gorgeous blue, but packed with tourists and smaller lake than I expected), and Columbia Icefields. It was a beautiful drive through rugged mountains and a cloud-filled sky. It wasn't raining too much, but did sprinkle a bit here and there. We we surprised to see the grizzly and got the pictures from about 10 feet away from the safety of our truck.







MOUNT ROBSON PROVINCIAL PARK: That night we car camped in this campground and since it was so cloudy we were unable to see the mountain. It wasn't until the next day when we walked over to a little convenience store for coffee that we saw Mount Robson peaking through the clouds. WOW!
