The landing area for Maligne Lake Cruises is very well run:
And OFF WE GO!
Wave to another boat. Nice journey down The Lake, under cloud-cover (but no rain):
Spirit Island is BEAUTIFUL:
On our way back up The Lake, the clouds had lifted a little, and we were able to see more forest and mountains:
A Lovely Morning-Adventure (Thank You God!) - Goodbye to Maligne Lake:
Heading back north, going past Medicine Lake:
Beautiful Country up here in Jasper:
Down the Icefields Parkway to Banff:
We stopped at the Columbia Glacier Rest Stop, took an overview photo, plus one with the ants on the trail and the glacier:
More Beauty to get us back down to the Royal Canadian Lodge in Banff, Canada. Thank you God for this wonderful CANADA Adventure Day!
