Along the way

  1. 16 Sep
    Moraine Lake ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆLake Louise, Canada

    First shuttle up โ€” no private cars anymore. That blue isn't edited. I checked with my own eyes twice.

  2. 17 Sep
    Lake Louise ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆCanada

    Rented a canoe on my holiday. Glacier at the far end. Felt like work, but prettier.

  3. 19 Sep
    Athabasca Glacier ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆJasper National Park, Canada

    Walked on a glacier that's shrinking every year. The markers for where it reached in 1908 are a long walk back.

  4. 21 Sep
    Maligne Canyon ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆJasper, Canada

    Deep, narrow, loud. Elk grazing in town on the walk back.
