July 11. Tonight, we’re sitting inside the car, eating our take out dinner from Sobey’s while it pours down rain. But that’s ok, we had another jam packed amazing day without the rain, and we got the tent set up before it rained. The day began with a visitor passing by our campsite – a rare sighting of a wolf. Dave was pretty excited about that. The park ranger told us he’s only seen one twice in twenty years.
Our first stop of the day was at Lake Louise ski resort. We had lunch in the chalet and rode the gondola to the top for an amazing hilltop view of the mountains and Lake Louise. It was pretty cool to be at the resort in the summer to see the ski runs carved out in the trees – probably the closest I’ll ever get to them.
Today’s big thing is Lake Louise. After seeing the incredibly turquoise blue in so many pictures, it really is something to see up close. We walked the trail to the end of the lake, walked around on the clay at the edge of the lake and saw a bunch of rock climbers on the rock face – so cool.
We made our way back to camp at Bow Valley again. We saw a grizzly on the side of the road and then saw an Elk on the way into the campground.
