Lake Moraine (07/25)


Another rainy day, or just really cold and cloudy?  Right now it is just very cloudy and cold.  We decide to take our chances and drive to Lake Moraine, an hour or  more drive.  We planned on doing a hike there, but is was so cold I passed and headed for the visitor center and coffee bar.

Joe headed down the trail just to return about 30 minutes later, you can not hike the trails here unless you are a group of 4 or more do to the grizzly activity. We talked it over and he decided to go back to the trail head  and see if he could join another group doing the hike.  Unfortunately   once hikers saw the sigh they decided not to hike.  After about one hour he finally gave up.  He was freezing when he got back to the truck.
We didn't want to go back to the park and since we were going to do a hike at Lake Louise tomorrow we thought we had better see if we had to be in a group of 4 there also, lucky for us you don't, so tomorrow's hike is still on.

This is where the trail head Joe was waiting at





Lake Louise

Can you tell I am cold?




Well it is time to head back to Banff and the campground and something hot to eat and warm up.  I hope  tomorrow  will be warmer for our hike!
