The weather was better than we expected today – only a few drops of rain. Cold and breezy though.

Started the day at Papa George’s for our usual breakfast. Paul has a proper Canadian fry up and I had pancakes. Fully fortified we drove down our favourite road in the world – the Maligne highway. We saw elk, white-tailed deer, our first bald eagles of the holiday, four moose, rainbow trout and a dipper. Medicine Lake was fairly full and Maligne Lake still had plenty of ice on it.

We stopped off at Maligne Canyon and walked down to Bridge 5 – took an hour to walk down and we managed to climb back up in 40minutes – phew!

It was lovely to relax in a hot bath before popping into town to Earl’s restaurant for dinner. I had some wonderful coconut prawns with curry aoli and garlic chips.

A great day again.Our first view of elk this tripMom bald eagle sitting on her nest and Dad taking a restMedicine LakeSome strange bloke got in the way of this pic of the results of a forest fire in 2015One of the four moose we saw todayMaligne LakeRainbow TroutAmerican DipperWhite-tailed deerhttps://www.gillandpaulontour.uk/cms/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/dscn2391.movMaligne Canyon
