Back to the Ice Fields

Today was a much better day up at 6,000 ft in the Canadian Rockies. We returned to the Columbia Ice Fields and went on the tour we had tickets for but had missed yesterday because of the snow storm. The weather was a lot better, although still not perfect, but we had a good time anyway.

On the way up, and mostly on the way back, we stopped for some photo ops. The Athabasca River and the Sunwapta River both have pretty nice waterfalls on them and we took a lot of pictures. We also saw some wild life; a black bear and a grey jay. Plus, when we got back to the camp grounds, we saw a female elk there with a calf.
