In the morning we drove to Banff National Park. Once we arrived, we took the Lake Minnewanka scenic drive and were greeted by a herd of big horn sheep that had little horns.
Our next stop was Johnston Canyon for a 1.1km hike to the Lower Falls. You can hike another 1.6km to the Upper Falls, but MH and I were tired, and it started to rain, so we thought seeing the Lower Falls were good enough for us.
When we got back to the car, we were drenched. It was a good thing that everything in Banff is so far apart because it gave us time to dry our clothes before we arrived at our next destination, Moraine Lake. At Moraine Lake, there is a large rockpile on the left-hand side that you can climb up. When you get to the top of the rockpile, this is what the lake looks like.
We ended our day at Lake Louise. The area is very touristy and reminded me of when MH and I visited the Canadian side of Niagara Falls. Large buses unloaded tourists of all sorts and there were people all over the place.
Just before we left, we saw a bride and groom taking photos at the edge of the lake. I'm sure those were going to be amazing wedding shots! When the clouds cleared and the sun light shined through the reflection on the lake was gorgeous.
