Banff National Park

Here's an area map of Banff and Jasper National Parks. They reminded me a lot of Yellowstone and Grand Tetons with glaciers instead of bubbling pools.




Many of the glaciers have melted significantly over the last 150 years. HELLO! - they're remnants of the last ice age 10,000 years ago. Do we expect them to last forever?


The melt water is very cloudy. How can the fish see where they're going?


Takawakalaka (or something like that) Falls.


My girl.


Yes, they have big mountains here too.


And beautiful lakes.


And some kind of goaty looking animals.


Eva got some good shots of these... Elks?


Before they turned their backs on her.


The two lovers at Lake Louise.


Were not exactly alone.
