Day 11 (Lake Louise/Yoho Nat'l Park/Radium Hot Springs/Banff/Lake Louise)

Today was a day of riding/sightseeing.  First up was to Yoho Nat'l Park, where The Natural Bridge was located.  I'd read and seen pics about this and wanted to see it first hand.  It did not disappoint!


Some background on The Natural Bridge...


First I will tell you that the pics do not do this justice.  The power of the water coming together just before it heads into the tunnel is incredible!


I would not want to be in here...


Waterflow as it goes into the tunnel that flows underneath The Natural Bridge...


Standing on The Natural Bridge is impressive...and scary!


Downstream from The Natural Bridge...


After The Natural Bridge it was off to find Radium Hot Springs, another place of interest I'd read was worth visiting.  Here's Scott taking the lead, literally through the mountain...


Radium Hot Springs...time to relax!


Warm pools, cool pools, great ambiance with towering mountains surrounding you!


Now this is how to relax!


After Radium Hot Springs, it was back to Banff, then Lake Louise for the night, but still enough light to take in the scenery...


Back in Banff...


...and on to our campsite.  No wine glasses, no problem.  Cut off the bottom 3" of plastic water bottles and instant wine glasses!


Then to bed, knowing the electric fences are keeping the Grizzlies at bay!
