Canadian National Parks – Day 2

7/18/24 – We were able to execute the plan we concocted on our first visit to the Lake Louise area…we parked near the bike trail, rode about 3 miles to the lake, locked our bikes up, did the 10-mile roundtrip Plain of Six Glaciers hike, and then biked back to the truck.  We were tired after the hike so we were happy the bike back was 99% downhill! 

Lake Louise (in Banff NP) has a unique color

Near the end of our hike up: The view back to the lake

There was a tea house near the top, which we visited

The local Clark's Nutcracker also likes their snacks. Here he is leaving with some butter!

At the top. We heard a deep thump occasionally and believe it was the glacier/ice/show shifting in the heat

7/19/24 – Drove 6 hours, back into the US and to Stanford, Montana, where we plan to check Montana off of our “half marathon in every state” list.
