Canadian Rockies


After several days enjoying the rolling wheat feilds and farmland of the prairies - we were suddendly confronted with the majestic Canadian Rockies. Still 10s of meters of glacial snow in late August set against an ink blue sky.

Banff Springs Hotel - a much more pleasant restroom stop than the functional small town Esso stations we became accustomed to.


Canoeing the early morning on the milky waters of Lake Louise.

Our campsite was only a couple of km from Lake Louise - in the early evening we saw a black bear pass between our tent and the river.

Morraine Lake at the base of the 10 sisters mountains.

Takakkaw Falls - one of the highest waterfalls in Canada.

Thousands of litres of water a minute rush down and under Natural Bridge.

Emerald Lake in Yoho National Park.
