Icefields

One of the highlights of the park is the Icefields Parkway drive, from Lake Louise to Jasper. It is prime wildlife viewing, where we saw both black and grizzly bears, mountain goats, big horn sheep and elk. We checked nearly every box.

We stopped for a hike to Peyto Lake, but the weather wasn’t cooperating. We heated up some leftovers and waited it out.

Good thing we did. After a short uphill (and slightly snowy) hike, we were rewarded with a view of the bluest lake I’ve ever seen.
