Day 3 (Tuesday)

It rains during the night. Luckily, we're nice and dry inside the tent. The next morning, it's very cold and when we look out of the tent, it's snowing! And by the time we're packed up and ready to go, we have an inch of snow and it's still falling!




We have a nice relaxed 2km walk on the virgin snow, along with some birds and some 4-footed, 3-toed animal that jumps, hehe. We see all the same sites on our walk back, but this time under a cover of snow. Remember the earlier bridge picture? Here's what it looked like coming back:



When we get back to the car, we decide we look clean enough (and smell decent enough) to go straight to lunch, at Grizzly House! There, we have one of the best meals I've ever had. We start off with an appetizer of raclette, and then I have my Alberta beef fondue and Sachi has various game which we grill on a hot rock. We have venison, buffalo and wild boar. The portions were kinda small so we decided to get another order of meat and the server recommends caribou. Wow, that is good meat, very tender and tasty! I even get my own portion, that's how good it was, hehe.

Next, we're off to Moraine Lake where we stay at a nice (but expensive) lodge just beside the lake.



We take some pics of the lake, though it's not as blue in the fading light. We also climb up the literal Rockpile to get some better shots. And then we get a nice, classy dinner at the lodge where I noisily drop my fork into my unusual plate a few times, drop some food while taking it off Sachi's plate, and generally being uncultured. :-)
