Peyto
Lake, just below Bow Summit on the Icefield
Parkway, probably illustrates that deep blue glacial lake color better than most. It really
is that color, honest! The glacial silt, about the consistency of flour, causes it
to look milky and reflect the blue colors.
It
was short sleeve weather on the Icefield
parkway, but it gets cold up there on the Glacier! We'll take one of the snocoaches
from Icefield
Centre up on to the glacier itself.
We
rode the snocoach from the Icefield
centre up to the Athabasca Glacier, which comes down from the Columbia
Icefields. Man that's an awful lot of ice!
Just
driving the Icefield parkway is an experience. The Scenery is great all
the way. This was taken looking out the windshield as we were driving.
