The Canadian Rockies

No trip to western Canada is complete without visiting the national parks of the Canadian Rockies. Little did we know the hiking trails in the mountains   would still be covered in snow at the beginning of June.

The famous lake Louise was completely cover with ice and did not great us with it's turquoise color. We improvised and wore our winter hats and gloves and hiked on lower altitude trails. The rest of the spectacular scenery we viewed from our car window.

The drive along the ice field parkway between Jasper and Banff was even better then promised by the guidebook. After a long day in the snow we were happy to find out that our hostel had a wood burning sauna.
