Adult strength too. |
Had to go and invite Darian. |
|
| Bow Summit & Peyto Lake Viewpoint | |||
Sucks to have to take a pee around here. Same lineups as at the
stadiums after a game. Maybe the hikes around here have a special effect
on you. |
That color is crazy. Wonder what color it would be in my clear water
bottle? |
Nice spot here for tobogganing in the winter. |
Go
for hike eh!
.... and we're back. |
Legs are like rubber |
Still don't know why we couldn't see the lookout from down there. |
Life's mysteries |
You want mysteries, tell me why I haven't been mowed down yet by any of
these crazy tourist. |
Hang on buddy, I'm moving. Impressive lineup on the outhouse still eh! |
Would you like some trail mix bird? Would I! |
Prefer the nuts OK. |
Tell these other guys I do chips and popcorn too. |
| Caldron Peak Trail | The hike... | ||
Didn't take the right split on the trail, but if we just bushwhack through
here we gotta hit it. |
Dang steep here. |
Sliding on your buts works... |
Stopping at the bottom is a challenge. |
Must
be the right trail now. |
I feel like I'm sinking in this boggy moss. |
OK, solid now, hairs good to. |
Good thing a packed this light snack. |
The snows great for skiing down. Plus we made some orange Tang snow-cones. |
Ramping up for some snowball baseball. Got the bat. |
Some balls coming up. |
Pitch looks good, he's gonna swing... |
Rock in the shoe. Hang on. |
OK, that's strike three and you're out. Last one to the beach is a... |
Nice walking on flats stuff for a change. |
With the odd stream to hop over. |
Go to try keep these shoes dry. |
So this is what the glacier looks like behind me. |
Over in the green slope is where we were with all the other tourists,
can't seem to see them now. |
Cool and windy out here. |
Yea, it's messing with my hair big time. |
Good now. Go for the shot. |
Up for a quick dip? |
Simple brain freeze should do for me. |
Here's a bugs eye view of my pack and the glacier. Kind of blends in with
the clouds now. |
Dealing with some respiratory issue for a minute. |
The all-out sprint up really warms up the body. |
Yea, this is nice. draw the heat out of your but. |
Need more. That's cooling me down now. |
Can you see Darian way up there. It your Where's Waldo shot. |
Skylar finds more energy and burst up again. |
Steep up on slippery show is tricky. |
Remember the tortoise and the hare, well the hare's sleeping and us tortoises
finally caught up and are moving on. |
Picking the perfect walking stick. Lots of tricky roots to trip over on
the path you know. |

| Lake Louise Lake Shore | |||
Nothing like an evening stroll around Lake Louise. Any chance we have time to
rent a canoe? |
OK, Hairs got that cool rugged and wind swept look. |
yea, right , smile... |
|
Kind of feel like Leonardo DiCaprio at the front of the Titanic, cold air,
glazier Ice, ice blue water... |
Look sweetie, you got me thinking of you so much and have to keep blowing
off the guys, even in this amazing place. We really need to come up here.
Save up a bit of cash, its only a grand or 2 a night. |

After chatting it up with the girls from the various restaurants we settled
for poutine here. |
Played a game of "guess my accent" with the cute waitress. We
bombed.
Nice $30 hamburgers. |
Real vodka in the water bottle too. Or was it real water in a vodka
bottle? |
|
