Woke to a very cold morning. We wanted to get an early start to tackle Bow Pass but it was freezing! The park service has neat cookhouses in the campgrounds so Craig whipped up some breakfast on the stove and we hung out waiting for the weather to warm up. We got on the road about 11am
After the climb up Bow Pass we decended into into Lake Louise area where we had some lunch and bought provisions for dinner. We had mexican theme. Craig is a gourmet chef!! Once again we snagged a camp site next cookhouse at the Castle Junction campground.
Lake Louise is abit too touristy for my taste and they really gouge you on everything. The real draw of it is the natural beauty.
We saw another bear today. Tourist were outside their vehicle snapping pictures! The bear had a collar on but I am not sure the purpose of it. At Waterfowl camp there is a bear called number 7; just tell him "go away Number 7" and he will leave your camp. We have been storing the food in bear lockers of course.
