I knew it! The writing was on the wall when they introduced jet propulsion into the mix - you just can't walk that kind of injury off...

Amazing! What a great place to wonder around! Thank you for sharing the pics and your experience, I really need to get up there one day. It amazes me that there are places like this still, untouched. This sir, has been added to the ol' bucket list. Thanks again!

Lol that's how I felt when I was visiting Lake Louise this past March! Another must visit place in Canada IMHO.

Thanks for the pics! This place has just been added to my to do list when I do a trip to AB in the summer.
