Road Trip out West, May 14, 2017

Jasper in the morning and then down the Icefields Parkway to the Athabasca Glacier. We stayed in a Revelstoke Hotel for some civilization.

 

I don’t know why I am always taking photos of little plants when I travel

We stopped briefly at Lake Louise and the Chateau but there was a storm coming in

 

Lake Louise. Danger Thin Ice. But that’s OK. You can still walk all over it. I’m sure it will all right.
