      That is Boom Lake which took a five mile hike to get to….no drive up. Five in and five out. So beautiful… This mountain fed lake was just above freezing, even in August! 3 of my 4 male family members took a swim! They said it was so cold they could barely breathe! It was literally in and out (in their undies!) 🙂

         Oh wow that’s a long hike! Looks like a good payoff though (and wow that’s brave taking a dip in water that cold!)

   What beautiful photos – which, I’m sure, STILL can’t do this place justice. My father used to love going to Banff with his family growing up. I have letters he wrote home during his service in the Korean war wishing he could be with his folks on their annual trip.

   Thanks for those memories. =))

      Thank you! We absolutely loved it and plan to go back! And, yes – there is no way to capture how absolutely beautiful it is there! Unspoiled.
