June 11, 2025 -  Driving to Alaska
Lake Morraine

We caught the shuttle to Lake Morraine.  Here's our first look at the lake.
   
 
   
ZZZ
   
 
   
This time we decided to do the lakeshore hike, which is flat.  We were pretty tired from the Lake Agnes hike.
   
Walking the shoreline trail.
   
A small canoe at the base of a huge rock.
   
 
   
Too bad it's so hazy; if the air were clear, this photo would be spectacular.
   
Pretty aqua blue.
   
 
   
There's a huge chuck of snow up there just waiting to be an avalanche.

At the top of the lake.
   
 
   
A shallow river flows through the woods.
   
 
   
 
   
 
   
Almost back to where we started.  The next step was to climb that rock hill at right.
   
The rock hill looks a lot taller close-up.
   
Heading up the hill.
   
 
   
The lake view is definately better from up here.
   
 
   
 
   
Looking east down the valley.
   
There's a shuttle bus at bottom
   
 
   
 
   
Looking down on the trail up the rock hill.
   
Lynnette has made a new friend down by the lodge.
   
We catch the shuttle back to the Ski Resort parking lot.
   
Crossing the Bow River on the way back to our car.
   
The ski resort where our car was parked.  What a day!  We were exhausted.  We hit the hot tub in the Inn which helped.
