Larch Valley

Today was not the best when it comes to weather - you can't tell it from this picture but it was snowy, windy, and cold for early September.  Actually you can tell from this picture - look up in the upper left hand corner and the snow is visible. 

In total we trudged almost 20 km but most of the time we could only see the outline of the mountains due to the overcast and snow.  But it cleared up enough towards the end of the day to take this picture in Larch Valley.  The valley is located above Morraine Lake near Lake Louise in Banff National Park.  The trees in the midground of the photo are Larch and they turn a lovely gold in the fall.  We hope to get back later after they've started to turn....
