  1. Since my sister-in-law the harpist lives in Calgary we had our family reunion in the Banff/ Lake Louise area 2 years ago.
    I spent sometime hiking the trails in that area.
    It was a real downer to come home to ill-Annoy after that-to say the least.

  2. Beautiful work, Frank!

    I took a train trip to Banff once.  Might be when I started to worship nature.  Either that or when I couldn’t outrun a tornado in Kansas.

  3. My mother took me, from the Rockies (we flew out there) after my divorce.  I was so sad she thought it would do me good.  In an odd way, it made me sadder:  That kind of ‘creation’ should be worshiped and not desecrated by man’s casual disregard of its almost holy presence among us.

  4. Bob,

    It did evolve over time.  Everything in nature evolves.

  5. I’d give up a year of my life to drop a line in that lake right now… what a beautiful place.

  6. If anyone is interested, there’s a website for the company that runs the (not cheap!) train trips through the Rockies at: http://www.rockymountaineer.com/

    And no, I don’t work for them.
    But I do live about a 5 hour drive from Banff; about 6.5 hours to Jasper. And I’ve backpacked many of the trails and climbed more than a few of the mountains - as long as they were over 11,000 ft.

    Hey Riggs: Do the names Rainbow, Brook, Brown, Dolly Vardon ring any bells??

  7. From all reports I’ve heard from folks who’ve taken the trip, it’s been worth every penny. I hope you got to see Mt. Robson. In all my years, I’ve only once seen it without clouds and/or storms.

  8. Dan (#9),
    They’re all trout!  And it would be fun to catch ‘em with you at that lake.  But only if there is a lot of beer involved.  That’s why they invented fishing, you know.  To give men something to do while standing on the shore, looking like a total dork!
