Yoho National Park

One Sept. 20, 2018, we headed up the road, west past Lake Louise, into Yoho National Park.

Here is a nice view of Cascade Mountain as we headed north up highway 1:


As soon as we passed Lake Louise, we got into a traffic jam.. Traffic was stopped and we had no reason why.  After around half an hour, we started crawling again, and it turns out they had closed the road for blasting:


We pulled over at the viewing spot for the spiral train tunnel.  You can see it at the centre-leftish part of the photo, between two trees:


On the way up Emerald Lake Road, we stopped at the Natural Bridge, on the Kicking Horse River.  This photo has the head of the ubiquitous Rocky Mountain photobomber in the lower right; so many tourists just have to step over the railing of the viewing points to get a few inches closer to the beauty, and pose for hours for their spouse to take the perfect photo:





There it is:


We then continued up the road to Emerald Lake, to hike around it:



Ed at the far end of the lake:


Just another photo of breathtaking mountains as we drove back down Emerald Lake Rd. towards highway 1 after the hike:
