On the way to Bow Lake, we stopped in Lake Louise to get Conor a coffee. I'd already had my fill before we left the house and was buzzing.
A look at the Onion from the parking lot. We'll climb up the left hand side after a long walk along the lake and the approach valley.
Bow lake and it's morning reflections. We're walking around the lake heading towards the back.
The trail crosses over the creek that feeds bow lake on a giant boulder. My shadow follows me over the top.
Conor, Goga and Changchi hike along the trail.
I thought the grass made for an interesting photo. We're heading towards the back of the valley below the cliffs in the distance.
Goga points the way towards the Onion. Bow glacier in the background.
Conor and the glacier.
Taking photos of snow and ice.
Loved the rock features here. The scale is much larger than you first think.. if you look closely you can see the group walking along the ribs of stone.
Making our way around and up towards the Onion. The landscape shaped by glacial movement.
A view of Iceberg lake from the top of the Onion. on the left is Mt Thompson and (inline so it's hard to spot) Portal mountain. Towards the right is Jimmy Simpson.
