O000 Canada – our 2nd home and beautiful land…

Seriously, this is my 4th trip to this lovely land and I think it was my favorite thus far. Traveling with awesome friends definitely contributed to the favoriteness though. I could venture back here every year and likely never tire of it. On day 1 we took it easy, just strolled around Lake Louise in the quite cool of the evening then had dinner in town. Day 2 we had one of our big hikes planned at Moraine Lake – Larch Valley and Sentinal Pass. It’s about 12km and worth every step. We had lunch in the alpine meadow (you know, the kind where you want to bust out with “the hills are alive…with the sound of music…” ) before completing the 2nd half of the hike. As much as your huff and puff and your little heart works its hardest going up hill – I think we all agreed we’d take that any day over going downhill. It’s KILLER on the knees! The weather was amazing and we could not have asked for a prettier day/week!
