The next morning is
cold, but the mostly sunny sky tells us it's going to be a nicer day.
We drive to Moraine Lake that is in the vicinity of Lake Louise.
The lake is beautiful, as it is completely surrounded by mountains
topped with glaciers. The sunny weather helps too. We head up to
the trailhead of the Consolation Lakes Trail, which requires four
people for safety reasons: the bears are everywhere.
As we approach
the trailhead, there is a French couple asking another couple who
happen to be French if they are heading to Consolation Lakes. They
said no, we said yes. That is how we meet Lucas and his girlfriend,
originally from Gap in France, but currently living in Montreal. We
hike 6 km roundtrip to the lakes, while being very loud because of
the bears. We have some scares, hearing some strange noises here and
there, but we don't see any bears...yet. That doesn't mean that the
bears didn't see us. We go back to the RV after having some lunch
and decide to drive to the town of Banff, AB.
We drive there by
highway 1A and the scenery is beautiful. We see mountain range after
mountain range, each with its own unique shape and style. That makes
for lots of stops for Yellow to take pictures. Then we arrive in
Banff and its brutal snap back into civilization.
The streets are
filled with cars, stores, and people people people. Finding parking
spot is a nightmare, but we find one. We get a coffee and a bacon
cheeseburger and McDonald’s in order to use their wifi for an hour
or two. Then we go to Canada's favorite ice cream shop, Cow's, and
order a half liter of Moo Henry ice cream. After the ice cream is
gone, we head back to Lake Louise and relax for the rest of the
evening.
