We walked around the lake and saw a sign for a trail to "Mirror Lake."  This 2.6 km trail was all uphill, but it included an amazing overhead view of Lake Louise along the way.  The Mirror Lake was a very small lake that did, at times, reflect the snow and mountain resting behind the water.  The way back down was a lot faster, as it was all downhill.  After the trail, we checked out the luxurious Chateau on Lake Louise, and then headed off to the village for a quick lunch.

After lunch, we went to Moraine Lake.  This lake, unbelievably, is even more stunning than Lake Louise, with its perfect blue water, huge rock pile overlooking the lake, forests lining the shore, and of course numerous snow capped mountain peaks reflecting off of the water.  Alon climbed over floating logs made by beavers in order to climb up the side of the rock mountain, and only then realized there was a trail to accomplish the same goal.  Neal joined Alon on the top, and we took some amazing pictures of the lake. 

As it was getting lake, we headed off to Lake Louise to test out our kayaks on Canadian water.  This will probably be the best kayaking experience we will ever have.  The water was still, and our surroundings had unmatched beauty.  After taking some pictures, we loaded up the car again, and headed off to Johnston Canyon, for some final views of the Park.  Before getting to the Canyon, Alon spotted a wolf in a distant field.  We got out of the car and video taped the wolf howling in the distance.  After walking to the powerful surging lower falls of the canyon, we headed back to the car for some dinner in Banff.  Along the way, a black bear crossed the road in front of us, and we followed an Elk bull who was eating on the side of the road. 

We slept in a motel in Calgary, since Neal is heading back home for the weekend, for his brother Michael's graduation.  Congrats, Miguel!  So, here I am, writing this entry in a Starbucks in Calgary... on my way to the Canadian Icefields.  Sorry for the delay in updates!  See you tomorrow in Jasper!
