It was 47 when we awoke this morning and our toes were a little chilly with the windows open.  After breakfast we drove to Athabasca Falls where we hiked the short 1.25 mile loop around the area.  A park ranger was there with these hides from a black bear.  I didn’t know there were blonde black bears!IMG 1425

And do you like me in blonde or black???IMG 1427

We drove up to the Skytram, but the wait was over an hour, so we decided not the wait.IMG 1508

Canyons and Falls 

We came back to the motorhome for lunch and a little rest and then hoped back into the car and drove to Maligne Canyon where we hiked a very strenuous 3.3 mile down the canyon and across bridges.  When we turned around to walk back (by a different route), we had to climb 1/3 mile straight up the side of the mountain before the trail leveled off.

We drove 87 miles in the car and filled it up for $3.80 a gallon USD.
