Travels Abroad, Eh
Just a quick overview of the trip after we left Calgary.
Our first stop was here at Lake Morain,
but I'd already had enough and well ...
We saw quite a few more lakes after that, but we also saw some incredible waterfalls as well.
One of our cooler stops, pun intended, was to the Athabasca glacier where we actually walked on the flippin' glacier.
We drove out onto it in this state of the art snowmobile.
As you can see it can be a bit chilly at times especially in the mornings. Because of that we had to find ways to stay warm. This was one of the less strenuous ways.
There were all kinds of vicious wild animals just roaming around everywhere. For instance there were rabid man eating elk.
The deadly, blood sucking vampire ladybug.
As well as the terrifying wild blue tarp and its even rarer cousin the wrinkled skin black tarp.
We did so much sightseeing each day that we were pretty much finished by the time we pulled up to our lodgings every night. We were really stoked when we pulled up to our hotel this night.
At least we were until they took us around back and showed us where we'd actually be spending the next couple of nights.
Probably my least favorite activity was dinner, they sucked.
It all finally had to come to an end and we headed home.

I hope you saw Banff and Lake Louise!
Sure did. We landed in Calgary and spent a few days there, one of which was at the Stampede. Good stuff.
Once we left Calgary we headed towards Banff which is when we stopped and saw Lake Morain. We saw Lake Louise, Lake Maligne and at least a couple more along the way. We didn't spend much time at all in Banff at the beginning of the trip as we headed on up to Jasper stopping along the way to check out waterfalls, icefields, glaciers and wild critters. We stayed two nights in Jasper and then headed back to Banff for another couple of nights. From there we headed back to Calgary and our flight home.
We're looking forward to going back in the next few years. Gotta get back to Hawaii though next year first. :)
Wow! What a fantastic trip. How did you get the lake that cool blue color?
