Johnny's Graduation Trip part 3
 |
| Johnny worked hard to bring in this Rainbow Trout...took close to 10 minutes to land it! |
 |
| This was Kerry and Isaac's first time fly-fishing. Kerry caught a pretty trout...Isaac took some pictures and almost caught some fish ;) |
 |
| The Grizzlies shut down one of our original planned hikes to Iceberg Lake so we did the Grinnel Glacier hike instead. |
 |
| Super cool glacial lake at the base of the Glacier. There were ice chunks floating in it; it was the coldest water we've felt to date. |
 |
| Mountain love. |
 |
| We wrapped up the trip by staying in the Many Glacier Lodge which has been completely restored. It was fun to compare this to my initial memories of a somewhat run down/leaky lodge on my graduation trip in 2002. |
 |
| Our last night of the trip. We did some viewing of grizzlies from a safer distance than usual and had a delicious meal in the lodge dining room. Great trip Johnny! |
Johnny's Graduation Trip part 2
 |
| A super rad hike to Sentinel Pass out of Morraine Lake. We had to get to the parking lot by 5:45 am for this one. Johnny was a trooper. |
 |
| 360 views...where to even look?! |
 |
| Mountain high! |
 |
| Morraine Lake-on our list to come back to. |
 |
| This spot was partially Johnny's inspiration for the Banff trip. We had to spend a little time searching for this unmarked spot-Johnston Canyon Cave. So cool! |
 |
| Johnny is really mastering his camera skills. |
 |
| We were very excited to check out the Canmore Nordic Center (home of the nordic ski venue of the Calgary Olympics). Johnny and Isaac had a great trail run and we completed Johnny's goal of a great running shot in the mountains. |
Highlights of Johnny's Graduation Trip Part 1
A while back we told Abbey, Johnny and Maddie that we would take them anywhere in the country for a graduation trip as long as it partially involved camping and a national park. Johnny decided on the Canadian Rockies; primarily Banff (cue the gleeful whoops as Isaac and I love that region). Here are just some of the high lights.
 |
| We found a place to set up hammocks in Waterton National Park after 23 hours of driving. Isaac was quickly sawing logs. |
 |
| Looks like we are balancing on a cliff! This is the incredible view from the Prince of Wales Hotel. |
 |
| Prince of Wales Hotel. We had a lakeside room with a killer view. We also got one of the best nights of sleep I can remember in the past 3.5 years of my life. |
 |
| Upon arriving to Banff, Kerry and Johnny headed to Lake Louise for a sneak peak of the next morning. Hard to believe, but this picture was taken at 9pm. |
 |
| Our first real hike of the trip; it felt great to get out on the trail. We did the Plain Of The 6 Glaciers out of Lake Louise. |
