34. Evan's Notch. So primitive and wild.
I love it there because you can only visit and then you must leave.

50. oooh! I still remember the tea I had there when I was a kid
That's Lake Louise, right? I went there with the fam when I was seven or eight, and the thing I remember best about it was hiking (for what seemed like hours) up the mountain, with plenty of fabulous views, to a teahouse high above the lake, where I had strawberry tea. I'd had tea before, but that was the first tea I remember enjoying :)

Anyway, I hope you have a great time there!

54. Yes, it is Lake Louise
I've been there several times, but not recently. No matter how many times, it's still a wonderous place. Just beautiful. I can't wait to go back! :D

The tea house is a couple of hours hike upmountain. I bet tea never tasted as good before or since. :P

Thanks! I plan to enjoy it. :bounce:

52. Better check out this place while you're at it


And to see the second view, you have to go on the boat ride, which I recommend very highly.

26. From vacation in Montana
Hiking 2 miles 2000 feet up was worth it to see this. It also got me interested in doing more hiking.


From a boat tour in Glacier park.


I'd rather do some hiking instead of boat tours but my 1 year old nephew was with us. We did get to get off on one of them and see this.

29. I got off the mountain the other day
I don't think they are going to live long down there. Not only is it hot as hell...

It seems they are being invaded by some plant species from hell bent on domination!



I was glad to get home.

An interesting blight for sure.

35. I used to spend summers there as a kid
Sauble Beach, Port Elgin, and my best friend's family had a cottage in Wiarton.

I love it there.

Great pics! :toast:

we were camping in Bruce National Park. It was a little too rustic for my date, though.
