Columbia Icefield

---

Full day travelling to the Columbia Icefields today with a stop off at Louise Lake (going back there tomorrow for a longer visit but guess what...the lake is still frozen..didn't expect that).

Travelling to the Icefields is very scenic - snow capped mountains, lakes, rivers, many glaciers etc. Heard about the history of the early pioneers and first settlers. Once at the icefield, got driven to the glacier by a specially designed vehicle with very large wheels/tyres. Anyway, walked on a glacier today! Pictures will probably tell a better story than my words.

On way back, stopped at Bow lake - also frozen - so started to walk on it and after a moment when ankle deep with both feet...oops. Quick backtrack...lol.

Seems a little early in the season as still lots of snow and lakes etc remain frozen. Some roads still closed. Had hoped to see Lake Louise with its turquoise colour...but not this time.

So, that's it.

Cheers
