The Rockies - Mother Nature - WOW!

We never thought the Rockies would be so amazing!  We have been blown away by the magnitude of the beauty and ruggedness. 

Lake Louise was just like the postcards.  Beautiful - one of those areas where you cant seem to get enough.  'We decided  to treat ourselves to breakfast at the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise - fabulous - not just the food but the view to match. 

We then made our way to Columbia Icefields and went to the Athabasca Glacier - what an experience. 

We were gratfeul the weather decided to be kind to us and everyone else - standing on ice 300m deep and feeling quite small (and cold - minus 2deg - that is cold for a couple of Aussies). 

Kilometres and kilometres and many, many snow capped moutains and hills - touching the clouds - awe inspriring - we feel so lucky to be here.

    Glad you loved Athabaska Glacier. Did you both drink from the fountain of youth? I hope you had a very big drink Adrianna. LOL
