Day: 34 6/1/15
Today, we decided to go to Lake Moraine, similar to Lake Louise but hopefully, a little less crowded. It is a bit further up the mountain via a narrower 2 lane highway that is closed in winter. We arrived to smaller parking lots and fewer people – thanks to the smaller parking lots. Lake Moraine is in many ways bore beautiful than Louise.
The snow and Ice are much closer and the lake even had a few mini-icebergs floating on it. The canoe/kayak concession was not open so the lake looked much more pristine and the water level was down a bit so we could walk the shoreline.
We considered lunch at the lodge but a big meal didn’t hold much appeal today so Mary suggested that we purchase some of the Salmon Pate’ and build a light gourmet lunch back at the campground. A quick trip to the grocery store for cream cheese and the liquor store for IPA for her and Amber Ale for him and a look through the pantry delivered: Cream cheese and Salmon Pate’ on toast with artichoke hearts. Great lunch followed by a walk along the Bow River that adjoins our campground.
Another great day on the road comes to and end.
