On Saturday, we got up and headed to Yoho National Park. Our first stop was Takakkaw Falls. There were switchback roads, but awesome views (even from the road). This was such a fun spot--you could get so close that you were cold from the mist.
Next, we drove to the natural bridge. It was neat to see, and not far from the main road.
We tried driving to Emerald Lake, but parking was crazy so we skipped it and saved for later in the day. We found a feeder lake to picnic at--small, but a shady spot to eat. Our next hike was a little longer to Wapta Falls--good view from up top, but it was fun to go down to the riverside. The girls loved skipping rocks and putting their feet in the water. They did awesome on the way back up and out!
We stopped at Emerald Lake on the way out, because we were able to find a semi-close parking spot. We checked out the gift shop and walked partway around the lake--it was a pretty green color like its name suggests!
We came back to Canmore and had ice cream at the Scoopin' Moose. Dave and Norah tried the Scoopin' Moose flavor. It was a quiet night back at our place--leftovers for supper, swimming/hot tub, bunnies, and the girls watched a movie and had popcorn.
