Glorious glaciers

First stop was the Athabasca Falls, these were frightenly powerful, 36 year old Dutch tourist fell there last week and his body won't be found for two years. We then went onto the Icefields Parkway and were very lucky to be allocated the front seats. We found Mt Fryett that was named after Dee's grandfather and were able to stop and take photo's. We then moved onto the awesome Columbian Icefields where we had a snow coach ride onto the Athabasca Glacier where we were able to get off and have a walk around - what an experience. It makes you feel insignificant when you are told that you only see 2% of the glacier and that the depth of the ice beneath your feet is taller than the Eiffel Tower. We gave up on lunch as this is one of the most visited icons in the world and you couldn't move near the canteen - no worries. We then moved onto Lake Peyta, what a spot, once again we were in awe of mother nature - just look at this: Weather continued to be glorious so we continued onto Lake Louise (where Dr Zhivago was filmed) just in case the weather changed (but it hasn't). Being a Sunday afternoon everyone and their dog had come out for a play on or near the lake, making this an end to a glorious day.
