Rocky Mountains day 2

A day of lakes and mountains - first stop (after picking up sandwiches etc in Kicking Horse)was Emerald Lake, where we had a picnic lunch.

Then it was on the road again to Lake Louise.

Next stop - Morraine Lake.

We kept seeing these cute chipmunks.

When we got to Banff we took the gondola up Sulphur Mountain

There were great views from there, also some wildlife.

 

Rocky Mountains tour day 1

Our first day took us from Vancouver to Revelstoke. We stopped at Hope for coffee. The town is famous for its chainsaw carvings.

me at a rest stop with our coach in the background. There were 44 of us, plus tour guide Ryan.

We took lots of photos from the bus - snowy mountains, forests and rivers.

We had a wine tasting at Grizzli Vineyard

...before stopping at Lake Kelowna (Grizzly bear in the native tongue).

It was very hot, 34 degrees! We had a picnic lunch and gelato.

There were forest fires in parts of the Rockies, making some parts hazy and giving us a red sunset.

Last stop of the day - the place where the last spike was hammered in as the two ends of the Canadian Pacific Railroad met up.
