Glacier National Park

We finally got to see a Grizzly, as close up as you would want to, at about 120 yards.




























Yoho National Park

The Nappers!!!!!
Lake in Yoho NP













Natural bridge

Kootenay

Kootenay National Park has some awesome scenes. We saw many deer on this drive and some Mountain Goats. Just were not able to photo the goats.






Marble Canyon, beautiful water, deep canyon, burnt forest. Several years ago this area was burned after a lightening strike.

































In and around Banff

Shad meets Molly!! They were very similar. Molly had been for a dip in Lake Louise. Shad, on the right, has a little more grey.



































Strolling through the town of Banff.



















Walking on the Glacier

Bridal veil falls
This is the glacier we got to walk on.

The path we must walk!!!

We made it!!! Looking back at the parking area.



Looking toward the glacier.

On the glacier.




Some areas looked like rock from the road, but they are debris covered glacier.


Some walked farther than we were willing to walk.


You can pay and ride a bus like this up higher on the Glacier. We were too cheap. We hoofed it.
