Grassi Lakes...
Walking up my favourite trail. If you are ever in the Canmore area and haven't walked up to Grassi Lakes, then this is a MUST!! It's a really easy trail (there is a more difficult trail you can take too) and the view at the top is stunning - not only of Canmore townsite, but of the Grassi lakes themselves which are the most stunning emerald green - a complete contrast to the turquoise waters found elsewhere in the area.
Snapshots of Chris at Moraine Lake....
Chris wanted some artsy fartsy pictures taken of him for facebook so I obliged ;)
Our climb...
...where as we climbed the steps of the proper trail!!! Well worth the climb no matter which trail you take as the view of the lake and mountains from up there is stunning. We've been to Moraine Lake several times and it always seems to start raining just as we leave. Indeed this time was no different and it started thundering while we at the top of the rock pile! Amazing how different the weather can be amongst the mountains. So very hot and sunny in Banff and yet when we got to Moraine Lake, the weather suddenly changed and it wasn't long before a storm arrived - then a few minutes down the highway, back in to amazing sunshine and heat....
