Moraine Lake by Lake Louise, Banff National Park
A short drive from the Lake Louise turn off and you get to Moraine Lake, a wonderful lake in the valley of the ten peaks. From there one can take an abundance of hikes all over the area, one of which we took. The sign said: only groups of four or more allowed on the trail - which is a nice way of saying: bears in the area. Getting there we actually encountered a Grizzly sow and her two pups, but they were too far away to get a nice shot off. Apparently they had wandered off to an area which was not very accessible to people with 30 pounds of camera gear on their back :wall-an:
