The big news is just as I was about to say I do not believe there are bears in Alaska and Canada, low and behold there is a black bear near the side of the road munching away on berries. Ever so cute and they look soooooooo cuddly.
We visited the Athabasca Glacier (1,000 feet thick) and went on an Ice Explorer half way up the Glacier. We were able to get out and walk around (very slippery). What an experience, well worth the cost.
Our tour included a visit to Bow Lake that has a massive waterfall, the Mustai River Valley and saw the Crowfoot Glacier, named because it is shaped like a crows foot and finally the Paedo Lake.
I am convinced we are currently travelling through the most beautiful country in Canada.
A few interesting things I learnt today:
Black Bears can be blonde
I learnt the difference between ice fields, glaciers and snow fields
All the beautiful water colours in Canada's Lakes is due to glacier rock powder
There is 20% less oxygen in this neck of the woods ( no wonder I have been puffing and panting)
The Lake where our log cabin is situated.
