Late dinner

We set up the mosquito tent because it was drenched from being in the
Thule bag strapped to Lucy. It's easy to put up but I have a feeling
we won't be able to put it back in its tiny bag.

Lake Louise was beautiful but it wasn't rustic enough for me with the
chateau and all the tourists. In my eyes, Payto and Bow lake were much
more majestic even if all we could do was admire them from a distance.

Jiffy Pop and movie in Lucy tonight!

Six Glaciers Lookout

We had scones and corn chips at the teahouse and continued to the
lookout point to have a look at the glaciers.

There are lots of rocks here! :)

Lake Louise

We booked two nights at the lake Louise campground and are now off to
hike the Plains of the Six Glaciers trail. It's 26 and sunny at the
city with the highest altitude in Canada!

Can't wait for an even better view of the lake!

Mosquito Creek Campground

This is where we stayed the night. The lots were full so we just
parked near the creek and left early the next morning. We are now off
to Lake Louise where they hopefully have showers. We have been hand
washing in the van lately as most campsites have no services (well the
nice ones anyway).

It rained last night but it's sunny again this morning. Our last trek
of the day yesterday was to see Payto Lake. We were all alone at the
lookout point because of rolling thunder and strong winds but boy was
it ever nice.

Lucy had quite a challenge at Bow Pass (6849 feet above sea level) but
got us all the way up! We were in second gear at one point but she is
one tough cookie!

Back to looking for animal crossings!

Mistaya Canyon

We are a bit past the halfway point between Jasper and Banff. Still
breathtaking! Now if only we could find a camping lot...
