Day 165: Moraine Lake

Yesterday's cold weather and grey clouds had disappeared overnight, revealing the mountains in their full glory. No messing about, then, and we headed straight for Moraine Lake. It was crazy busy with tourists (I don't count us as tourists ;-) but we took our time, sitting back with a cup of tea before heading up onto the rockpile for the classic view of the lake. And, wow, what a view today! We've been to Moraine Lake a few times, and today was the first time we've had clear skies. Stunning - and Mum and Dad were speechless. We took a walk down to the other end of the lake and sat there for a while, enjoying a different view, one with fewer tourists.
