Final Day of Snow

Looks so Fake

But it's not. I've not adjusted this photo in any way.

Snowy Desolation

Elk Sighting

You'll have to take my word for it, but the third photo shows a retreating elk. When I first came across him, he was beside the road, staring. An amazing sight. If only he didn't take fright, it would have been an fabulous photo.

More from the September Rockies Roadtrip

Hitting the road

It was mid-morning and sadly time to leave Lake Louise, and continue the loop back towards Vancouver.
    

Wintry Lake Louise

It's hard to believe that it was still summer at Lake Louise.

Snowy Man

Robin Redbreast

Sitting in a tree outside the chateau.

Through the Wardrobe

The view was Narnian.

Endless Snowiness

Still Freezing my Tootsies Off

First Footprints

Nearing 7am I couldn't wait any longer. I raced outside to be first to explore, ahead of the hordes.

Dustings of snow

Heading back to the chateau, snow was on the ground in places.





And then it started snowing in front of our eyes.






The overnight forecast indicated a decent snowfall was heading our way, so I kept looking outside throughout the evening, waiting for it to arrive. Every hour through the night, more and more piled up, until this was the scene before dawn.

Into the Mists

These misty mountains were en route to Moraine Lake, just south of Lake Louise.

Star Wars

Are there enough sessions of Star Wars on Thursday at the local cinema? I'm tempted by the 3am.

Meanwhile in Canada

Endless Canadia

More mountain views from Alberta.
