| Tuesday - June 21 Breakfast wasn't served until 8:00 so we had plenty of time to photo the still morning lake reflections. |
 |
| The change in the direction of the light did mask that amazing blue we saw yesterday. |
 |
| A bit more clouds today but it is also a bit warmer. |
 |
| Breakfast was also delicious. |
 |
| We met Alex yesterday when we arrived. He was quite interested in Doug's bike so he let Alex take it for a spin. If it had not been fully loaded at the time, he may have gone a lot farther since it fit him perfectly! Alex, an employee of the lodge, is from Montreal and we enjoyed talking to him. |
 |
| It took us 30 minutes to traverse the 2 mile length of Bow Lake. It was so beautiful that we were reluctant to leave too quickly. |
 |
| We weren't the only ones. |
 |
| It was mostly downhill the rest of the morning. |
 |
| Even though it looks really stormy over Kicking Horse Pass we are still in the sunshine. |
 |
| Herbert Lake |
 |
| Goodby Icefield Parkway. You have been challenging but incredibly rewarding as well. |
 |
| Hello TransCanada Highway 1 with your wildlife overpasses. We enjoyed you in 2013. |
 |
| Had lunch at the same deli. We ended up having a delightful conversation with Bob and Judy from England. The storm seemed to pass by while we ate and chatted. |
 |
| Looks like they have installed some new signs on the Bow Valley Parkway since we came through 3 years ago. |
 |
| The road is the same though.....quiet and pleasant riding. |
 |
| An hour later the thunderstorm caught up with us. We were just passing Baker Creek Resort so checked on room availability. |
 |
| It just poured about 5 minutes after we checked in. |
 |
| There was about an hour break in the storm at 4 so we did a little exploring. |

 |
| Our sound of the day. There was quite a wind as the train passed by too. |
 |
| The view from our room. Dinner was delicious We don't normally talk about food but the banana chocolate chip waffle with espresso ice cream and chocolate sauce was TOTALLY decadent. |
 |
| Jacuzzi tub....bike touring is really tough. Sometimes thunderstorms are really a blessing in disguise! |
