| The threatened thunder storm yesterday afternoon did not materialise but we did get heavy dark clouds and a big drop in temperature.....we are so very glad that we brought out with us a spare winter duvet when the temps overnight went down to just above freezing... However, today, although a chilly wind we head into the park, it's very busy, as well as being the weekend it is also Father's Day but nice to see so many families enjoying the park.... our first stop is for Alberta Falls.....this pic Yorkieman at the start of the uphill half mile hike to the falls... |
 |
| We have a bit of nice excitement while at the falls, a young chap gave me his camera and asked if I would take his and his girlfriends photo as he was going to propose :) How sweet was that.....and she said yes :) |
 |
| From Alberta Falls it's a mile hike to Bear Lake, we are taking it easy with the hiking at the moment while we're getting used to the high altitude.... |
 |
| The snow line at Bear lake.....altitude 9,475 feet..... |
 |
| A pretty lake and an ideal spot for our lunchtime sandwich.... |
 |
| We catch the shuttle back down to Sprague Lake a popular fishing spot and an easy flat half mile walk around the lake.... A nice gentle day in the beautiful surroundings of Rocky Mountain.... |
Fabulous piccies! Such awesome natural beauty (I don't mean Mike!). Having said that would I want to live in the middle of it all - miles from Waitrose? Who knows. Good to see you are in top form and having fun - keep it up!
