The Glacier Ride

B and I took the bus tour from Lake Louise campground on the Iceland Parkway (in the top 10 international scenic drives) to the Athabasca Glacier Tour. We rode on asp ecially outiftted bus onto an actual glacier! Way cool. We both tasted some glacier water from the spring (see B in front of it). The scenic drive was good too - hundreds of mountains, many with glaciers on them - astounding to see. The pic of me and B - we are standing at the info center in front of the Athabasca Glacier (the white area b/n the 2 mountains - that's what we were standing on later in the day.

The same day, Pat took Pepper on a 10 mile hike on a partially snowy trail in another part of the park (this park is huge). The were both pooped!
