Canadian Rockies: Day Five - Columbia Ice Field, Peyto Lake, and Lake Louise

What an early start to the day!

early morning view from our hotel

bus to the Columbia Ice Field / Athabasca Glacier

Look how tiny the people look! 


Walker next to one of the tires of the bus. HUGE!


Now I think the glacier is the "shelf" at the top...I think. I think I'm standing on the ice field. 






It was also Ben's and my 19th Anniversary!




After the ice field, we took a trip to the Glacier Skywalk. Crazy experience (this is Walker laying down...).


Peyto Lake

The beautiful color created by rock flour from glacial erosion. 


playing in the snow berm in the parking lot

As a fun way to end the night, Ella, Brooke, Cally, and I got into Lake Louise! 
About eight people from our group did it (so it wasn't just us)!

I think it was 48 degrees.

so cold
