Makeup That Reflects Light

Yoho National Park, Banff Gondola and Calgary Tower

After a home cooked breakfast in the hotel room, we headed to Lake Louise. The weather today seems to be back on our side. Since there are 9 clock was morning, the lake was still in shadow and only a few mountains were lit by the sun. The silence was broken ever, Japanese aks a bus was released. So we drove on to the neighboring Moraine Lake. Again, this was still in shadow.

next target was the Yoho National Park. The little sister of Banff and Jasper is far less known but just as beautiful. Are situated there as There, the Takakkaw waterfalls that are among the highest in Kanda. Another highlight was the Emerald Lake. As its name suggests, shines in this beautiful Smaragdton, to the mountains - great! On the way back to Banff National Park, we were still passing a Natural Bridge. The water here has drilled its way through the rocks and thus created a natural bridge. It could run it, however.

we made our next stop in Banff. We decided at short notice because of the beautiful weather with the Mount Sulphur Gondola to about 2200m to go. But we were having a splendid view of the surrounding Mountains of the Rocky Mountains and Banff rewarded. We took a short hike to weather station before the cable car again went down.

about 16:30 clock we left the Banff National Park, reaching 17.50 clock Calgary, the Olympic city of 1988. As the sun was still shining, we drove straight into the city and went to the Calgary Tower. In a dizzying height you can stand on a glass floor and look over a hundred meters down. We enjoyed the view of the emerging city and the surrounding plains. On the horizon, one could still imagine the Rocky Mountains.

made after dark we are the hotel Comfort Inn and shot a couple of skyline shots.
In the hotel we have a heated pool with a slide! Of course we had to try out.

Tomorrow we will probably have no Internet. The trip report and pictures for this post will follow later.

Tabacco And Mouthwash

Maligne Lake & Icefields Parkway

Meanwhile, there are actually no longer surprised when we are wide awake at 7:30 clock. So we could also start the day early today. Unfortunately the weather was rainy and cloudy so we decided to Jasper for breakfast at a bakery.

on Malignant Lake Road, it was first to Medicine Lake. A fascinating thing about this lake is
that he really has no outlet, but in the fall, the water seeps into the caves, only to miles again to come to the surface. Now the end of September, the lake was drained and exposed to very many places the Erboden. We followed on the road to Maligne Lake to finally come. Here we had already booked tickets in Germany for a boat tour to Spirit Iceland. On almost every travel guide Kanda their characteristic small island is shown. Unfortunately, it was still raining when we clock at 12 noon competed our tour. The boat guide us tried to speak but the weather is nice We also had the privilege to drive with the smallest of boats. Our group consisted of only 6 people and that is we took the boat "Curly", which you usually can only charter for CAD 1500th During the trip began on the lake, then even snow - the first snow for this winter. Once on the peninsula, it was cold, but wonderfully quiet, the green trees and in front of the turquoise water. In the main season here are 3 vessels of 56 people and we have been there six of + Captain and Guide. Meanwhile it had stopped snowing and the cloud cover breaks up a little. After about 90 minutes we arrived back on shore. This boat trip was not really free as the most beautiful Canada's excellent. Even if we only see the cloudy version, the trip was worth it cannot fi.

Next stop was at the Maligne Canyon. In this limestone gorge, the water has dug deep and shaped figures. After this short hike, we began the drive south to Lake Louise. The road is known as the Icefields Parkway (# 93) and is praised as the most beautiful mountain road in Canada. We made a trip to the 23m high Athabasca Falls. The next stop were again waterfalls: the
Sunwapta Falls. The panorama dominated rapids and waterfalls. Along the ridge of the mountains, (Was the highest in the 2400m), past turquoise mountain lakes, over several mountain passes, we arrived at the Athabasca Glacier, part of the great Columbia Icefield, which sent its water into three oceans: Pacific, Atlantic and Arctic Ocean. defrosted on the way to the Athabasca Glacier remember years because boards like the glaciers in the last decades. Frightening when you look at where he was in 1982. On the glacier itself, it was very cold especially by the wind and the altitude hurt the ears.

Shortly after we crossed the border to Banff National Park. Against 18.50 clock we came
after 337km in Lake Louise. We had booked a hotel because our prices attributes but seemed a little too high. With the price range from the Internet, we went to Lake Louise Inn and behold, got a room which CAD was 20 under the Internet price. The end of the day was a dinner in the hotel restaurant.

On the road again ...

Also this night was relatively short. For a change, not because of the time difference, but because we wanted to get the ferry at 8:30 clock. Last night was the lady at the front desk told us that it was a very nice weekend and probably many have come to Vancouver Iceland. Therefore, the ferries yesterday also very crowded and it's not all been taken away. Our investment in a reservation for the trip was worth it.


was 6.30 clock to get up, pack up things and after one, for Canadian conditions rather extensive breakfast (sweet potatoes, Rüherei, sausages, ham and toast), we set out in the ferry. This is less than 5 minutes drive from the hotel. However, since you at least 45 minutes before departure with booking their tickets have had, we were already clock before the 7:45 ferry. The route from the Departure Bay in Nanaimo to Horseshoe Bay in Vancouver took min 1:45. Since it was still early in the Morgn was collected the mountains of the mainland before us in a bluish haze and Vancouver could only guess schemenhaftm by its outlines. During the tour we spoke to an elderly man who told us including some of the history of Vancouver Iceland.
Starting with the English, who settled in this area, the Indians ermoderten, the Forbidden Plateau on the refuge for the women and children and of the 100 foot tidal wave that struck about 3 years ago, the West Coast of the island.

From Horseshoe Bay we drove along the coast to West Vancouver Stanley Park, overlooking the meantime, it was 12 clock and Vancouver hung tight still Clouds. We were now our 8 - hour journey to Jasper in the state of Alberta. Starting from the wide, green farmland, led us our way north to the Rocky Mountains. The journey took us in part by the nothing, no town for miles. Ironically, there are the signs when the next petrol station is only after the last gas station. So, check first turn around and go 2-3 miles back of nowhere as there are no fuel. The nature of this track is quite varied: from coniferous forests, deciduous forests, prairies, short, steep mountains, to small lakes and rivers meandering along the road we were offered everything.

clock 19:50, after about 855km, we arrived at our hotel in Jasper. Well not really, because just before Jasper transgresses not only the border from British Columbia to Alberta, but also the time limit for Mountain Time, which means we have lost one hours and it was already 20:15 clock - is probably again a short night be ... Just to remind you: we are now for the next few days only 8 hours behind Central European Time Zone.

The Tonquin Inn where we will spend the night, has been recently renovated. As for us, the hot tubs in the garden then the weather was a bit too fresh yet (10 ° C by 21 clock) we went to the indoor pool which we had all to ourselves. Besides a pool, there is also a hot whirlpool.
