Oh Canada! Part 1

Oh Canada!  Banff, Yoho, and Jasper National Park Adventures Part 1

Banff from Tunnel Mountain

31 Hiking Miles on this journey!

I can't dream of encapsulating  the beauty and feel of the Canadian Rockies with my camera and amateur photography skills, but here are some of our memories of our 2016 adventure!   I will never forget the smell of Christmas from all the pines, and the feel of 9 degrees Celsius with no humidity in June :).  The look of that teal green translucent water will never cease to amaze me, and I did not do a good job capturing the color that glacier run off creates in these mountain lakes, but in the next few posts I will share what I did capture ! 

The first time I looked over and saw 100 on the odometer :).  Ha!  Kilometers per hour and 9 degrees (Celsius) took some getting used to! 

 Going into Banff

Adventuring with this man for almost 20 years :). 

Many of the bears were really busy eating these tomato like berries! 

How do you carry around these antlers all day?

 

We saw 4 black bears, but one was Cinnamon colored. 

We think this is a big bobcat, but might be a Lynx?
