Lunch in the Canadian Rockies



What can be more important than lunch? My favorite parts of today's adventure were lunching in the Canadian wilderness next to a raging river surrounded by mountains. We had just passed "The Inkpots" -- five bomb crater sized blue green ponds with cool water bubbling up from the bottom. One picture attached shows the river and mountains beyond. The pictures of falls in Sylvan's pictures below are on the civilized portion of the walk up to the inkpots. In those surroundings, trail mix tastes great. But we had to go on to the the Chateau Fairmount in Lake Louise for a real lunch in luxurious surroundings-- the second picture from our table showing the view out toward the lake through a curved top window. Ah, both are the life! We are now exhausted, back at the hotel, trying desperately to stay awake 'til its a reasonable hour to retire. Maybe we'll go for a walk. Wait! That's what we spent all day doing!
