Water of the spirits

Returned to Banff National Park on Friday to hike up Cascade Mountain with a friend. Afterwards, we took over a couple of Muskoka chairs on the shore of Lake Minnewanka for a quick, late lunch — with a nice view on the side.

Thinking of warmer weather today … so here’s a snapshot from an early summer hike about 10 years ago in Kananaskis Country, just west of Calgary.

In something I wrote for work this week, I referenced a 2008 visit to Jasper National Park. Here are a few images from that trip.

Out on the dock

Here are a few snapshots from a day trip to Lake Louise earlier this week.
As lonely as my photos make the place out to be, rest assured this popular tourist attraction is as busy as you’d expect for high season.

Canoes

Lunch with a view

Storm clouds rolling in
