Back in Banff
Today’s schedule was busy. First we went to see Athabasca Falls and Sunwapta Falls, where I had a delicious Pina Colada muffin. It stands out as a culinary highlight of the trip.Afterwards we went to see the Saskatchewan Glacier, which is only visible if you hike (i.e. you can’t conveniently drive up to the base of it like the Athabasca and Dome glaciers).
We had lunch at Peyto Lake. Yes, that’s me sitting on a rock overlooking the valley. Peyto Lake has a brilliant blue colour from glacial meltwater, and it was an absolutely stunning picnic spot.
After lunch we visited Moraine Lake, famous for being on the Canadian twenty dollar bill – and there’s actually a spot marked out where the photo was taken from.
We’re back in Banff now - Kent and Richard have decided to ditch the hostels and rented an alpine chalet for two nights, so we’re all eating dinner at their place tonight! Yay!
