Two guys and a Jeep: Day 7 and 8

After a homemade mountain breakfast of eggs and peppers, we were ready for our first hike- Avalanche Lake. It was a 5 hour hike with magnificent views of the glacier-carved valleys. We met many friendly hikers along the way including a couple from Florida who shared with us their knowledge of the best trails in the park (along with half of their Subway sandwich!). At the end of the main path, we found a little side trail that led right to the the edge of a small waterfall. It was a bit tougher to climb than the well-maintained route but we made up there and got some great photos. Once we got back to camp, we were starving! Fortunately we had some bratwurst to grill on the campfire. The next morning we decided to head off to Canada and set off on the Going to the Sun Road. The views at the top were breathtaking! Soon we crossed the border and we were in Alberta. Right on the border we got a great view of the Chief Mountain, a peak in the Rockies that seems to be separated from the nearby mountains. After a bit of driving, we finally found a Holiday Inn in Canmore to stay the night.
