Wait…first snow? It’s the middle of August. Yeah, the locals tell us, we usually get one summer snow, pretty isn’t it? Yes, pretty but a little soggy at camp. The snow was at the higher elevations, it rained all night at camp. Temperature around 40. Camping and hiking is always easier in dry weather, but “rains happens".
We hike into the Plain of Six Glaciers area, above Lake Louise
take our rain jackets and pants, and they are needed. The views are specacular though and the unsettled weather makes great clouds and lighting.
As if the beauty above weren't enough, whenever you
look down there are trail-side treasures
On the drive east towards Calgary, the next day we are rewarded by the light dusting of white, which accentuates the striations in the rock faces.
(I'm posting two entries at one time, read about Mr. Grizzly below.)
Beautiful. You still haven't written about any of your swimming adventures in those gorgeous lakes and streams.
