Cross over the Continental Divide and you find yourself in British Columbia and a new time zone, well, except for the Yoho National Park area that decided to be different. With a cloudy day on tap, we drove over the pass and saw many of the highlights of Yoho (a Cree word meaning awe), like the spiral train tunnels, Takakkaw Falls (one of the highest in Canada) the small town of Fields, a natural rock bridge over the Kicking Horse river and the spectacular Emerald Lake. If I were to stay in a cabin in the Canadian Rockies, this would be my first choice. We retuned back to Lake Louise Campground in time to see a black bear checking out the campsites. We heard the ranger fire a warning shot or rubber bullets at the bear to chase him off. After dinner a walk along the Bow river near the campground showed many signs of bear activity but no additional bear sightings (thankfully).
Great shots Delys! There is so much beauty to be seen and thank you for sharing! Peggy
ReplyDeleteThis brought back so many memories, we did this trip in 2009. Hope you were watching our blog at that time. This year we parked in Buena Vista, Colorado for a month and have been exploring around here. Another spectacular spot. We will be at Great San Dunes National Park this weekend, then head back home.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures as usual.
