... to be ready to leave, and when it was finally we ready we went to get on and the driver pulled me up looking for a ticket. Turns out it costs $10 for a bus ticket to go 11km, as niether of us had any money on us we decided to just walk back down. Needless to say I was a little ****** about the fee. <br><br>We got about 2kms down the road and it was starting to get cold and the sun was disappearing behind the mountains when a ...

... fruit, salad, and a big cookie for dessert. After lunch the guides gave an equipment orientation. We were outfitted with wet suit, fleece sweater, splash jacket, river shoes, helmet, gloves, and life jacket. We put on our gear and headed for the rafts. Our group consisted of three rafts with six people each, plus guide. At riverside we learned the guide's instructions, how to deal with various situations, and how best to stay in the raft and ...

... falls, we watched some kayakers put in to the Yoho River. <br><br>By the time we arrived at Emerald Lake, it was time for our picnic lunch. This is another beautiful, green lake, but there were too many tourists to really enjoy it. Besides, we had been at Lake Louise in the morning. On the same side road, however, we saw a natural bridge that was part of a truly interesting waterfall on the Kicking Horse River.<br><br>Our last stop for the day was ...

It was a short drive from Canyon Hot Springs to Whispering Spruce Campground in Golden, BC, just southwest of Yoho National Park. As usual, Jane went in to register while Jim unhitched the car. As Jim pulled the pins on the tow bar, he felt something quite wet. He turned around and saw coolant (anti-freeze) dripping from the motor home's engine compartment. It turned out to be a hole in the large hose that ...

... ve woken up from their sleep, then gone back to bed again. The deer and moose walk around everywhere, though mostly at night, as do the bears when they're not hibernating. I'm also told there's also a pack of wolves quite close by. Wolves are such noble creatures, they're also pretty massive! At the end of the trip we all took part in trying to make the wolves howl... We did this by howling ourselves... embarrassing but ...

Lake O'hara is a couple of hours drive from Edmonton in Yoho National Park, you need a permit to get in and the camp site is limited to three nights to have a good balance with the human interference. It is real bear country and when out there you need a bear spray to carry with you, however the chance to meet a bear is limited or close to none. We have not seen any of the black or grizzly's, however we have met other criters. Lake O'Hara is a gem of the ...

... s nice over there in Manitoba. Happy for you! Not really but what else can I say. Things are not too exciting here. I think I pulled a muscle in my left calf from walking the other day. About as pathetic as it gets as all I did was a little sloping walk to the Bow Falls. I need to start seriously exercising. It was a pretty nice day on the Monday I had off. Walked around town along the Bow River on to the closed train and up and over ...

... please don't ask me!) Banff is pretty great. I wake up in the mornings surrounded by mountains that look absolutely stunning covered in snow with the morning sun shining on their peaks. I've been trying to pick my favourite mountain of the ones that surround Banff but I am stuck on two. Cascade and Rundle. I can see Rundle from my bedroom window. It's so gorgeous. It sits there so strong and wise. Like it's been there the longest and knows all the ...

... and Morraine Lake. Blue blue blue water with mountains and glaciers... and still a bit cloudy, but the sun was definitely coming through. I hate rushing this, I have so much more to describe. But I must rush.... Will stay here tonight and maybe grab a beer, heh? :) It's aboot time. Tomorrow: Icefields Parkway to (hopefully) Dawson Creek, where I get to see Dawson and Pacey and whoever the hell else lives there.
