Since the weather was supposed to be crap the rest of the week in the Boos, we peeled off to Alberta for some more sight seeing. Our first stop was Lake Louise, one of 3 Blue Water lakes in the world. One of the other ones being Okoboji Lake in Iowa; my parents' stomping grounds. I had NO idea how touristy Lake Louise is. It was a turn-off. We got out as soon as we could after a few quick pics. Its such a pretty place and I dont blame a single tourist for being there but jeez! Next stop was Banff for a quick tour. I think this town is more fun in the winter? And finally we stopped in Canmore, home of the Alpine Club of Canada. We planned on staying there a while but after flipping through the guide book at a local store we were overwhelmed. Canmore is a trip in and of itself. We went to a couple of the local watering holes looking for other climbers but were unsuccessful. So back to the states we headed. We got a few miles from the border before we decided to cat nap. We had some objectives in the States that we wanted to see/climb so all was not lost.
I HAVE PHOTOS BUT CANT FIND THEM AT THE MOMENT. STAND BY.
