On Saturday, I did a commando tour of Banff and Lake Louise, before heading back to Calgary to catch the red-eye home.

On Sunday, I went riding in the Harold Parker State Forest. It was a fabulously beautiful afternoon, and saw exactly 0 other horses, 0 bikes, 2 hikers, and 2 families having a barbequeue on the beach. Other than that, I had the entire 3000+ acres to myself. Freaky.


Elk at the side of the Bow Valley Parkway, west of Banff.

Upper Johnston Falls.

Mirror Lake, above Lake Louise.

Big Beehive. The fellow directly in front of me is a 1985 MIT grad who studies Kendo.

Lake Agnes, from the teahouse. 7700 ft.

Lake Louise, with glaciers in the distance. 5500 ft.

Why I didn't get to soak in the hot spring. That, and I didn't have the $7 for the big commerical hot spring up the hill.

Kidney Spring. The soaking pool is big enough for 1 person. Just looking, officer.


Elk doe, with Mt. Rundle in the background. Near the Bow River in Banff.

Man, I am so bad. When I read "commando tour" all I could think of was that you went hiking without any underwear on. >;) Whoooooo!

Very pretty though. :)

how about yours?
Uh, you were missed at an otherwise kick-ass party.

But your pictures are as pretty as [livejournal.com profile] mangosteen's pictures of the fire spinning.
