Another trip to the Rockies. We saw at least a dozen deer, at different times, a cluster of mountain sheep (accompanied by a serious bear jam and people way too close), and three black bears.
We drove up to Lake Louise for the first time in summer in years. My first glance at the lake left me thinking I could walk across it. Then I remembered it wasn’t frozen. The glacial till that makes it milky also stops the eye from seeing down into the lake – that’s my excuse for imagining it frozen, anyway.
Highway construction is grotesque – stretching for miles and miles (I guess that should be kilometres and kilometres, but that has no flow at all), through the highway twinning project in Banff National Park, to the major roadwork around Golden. This is all desperately needed to make the highways safer, but in the meantime . . . sigh.
We visited a lot of lakes. Our favorite was . . . oh, maybe I won’t share that. It was delightfully quiet.
