a bigger roadtrip (Part 1): Lake Louise and Moraine Lake

---

Got up early today for an awesome roadtrip.

To start it all off we (Jim, Ali, Jase and Kat) drove the 2ish hours to beautiful Lake Louise. As those of you who know of it or have been there will expect, it was PACKED with tourists, but it didnt phase us.

We hiked a little to the end of the lake to get some more great photos, and on the way back saw an old guy playing "Amazing Grace" on some kind of tribal horn. It was all very soulful and us tourists sang along as the bells in the tower of the hotel chimed.

For lunch we travelled on to Moraine Lake, which is the most intense green/blue colour you will ever see. Apparently the waters here get their awesome colour because of glacial sediments... but hey, I'm no geologist. But i can sure appreciate their beauty!
