Bow Lake

After leaving the Vermillion Lakes, we headed to lake Louise, but with it being a Saturday, and the sky beginning to clear, it was crazy busy. So much so that anyone wanting to go to Moraine Lake was told to go park in the overflow campground along the Trans-Canada Hwy, and take a shuttle bus. Forget that!  So we decided to take a short drive up the Icefields Parkway to Bow Lake instead.

We skipped the pull-off along the Hwy, thinking we'd catch that later, and went straight to the Num-Ti-Jah Lodge....

Even with the sky clearing a bit, it was very cold and windy,
​ so just Holly and Coco came out for a quick picture.

We headed back to the south end of the lake.   "This looks like a good spot for our picnic"

But it was extremely cold and windy, and impossible to lay out a picnic....

It started to snow, so we packed up, and left.
We continued west, ​through the mountains, into Glacier National Park.

Here we come to the end of the first set of trip photos.
I've made an album in Favourite Photos - Fall Trip - Part 1 - Heading West -  where you can revisit the trip without having to scroll through my Blog

And for anyone interested in seeing more of the scenery pictures, I've also started a Trip Album - Pacific 2015 - on my Martha Boers website. That album has more scenery shots, but fewer doll photos. Right now they are almost the same, as I'm updating both albums at the same time, but further into our trip there will times when there are photos of places we visited and didn't take any doll photos.
