Banner Day in BC Part 1

What a wondrous day we had yesterday (July 7th) winding our way through the Canadian Rockies! We saw so much I had to split this post in two!

Shortly after leaving Summit Lake, which is the highest elevation of the Alaskan Highway, we came upon a bull moose! I have searched this nation over to see one in the wild from Yellowstone to Vermont's "Moose Alley" to no avail, so it was high on my bucket list for this trip.

He made my day :)

And he couldn't care less that we were standing there watching him graze.

My new friend :)

Our first stop of the day was Muncho Lake with reflections off the pristine blue green waters so clear you could see the stones on the bottom.

Our next stop was at the Liard Hot Springs. We were ready for a little relaxation :) It was a 10 minute walk from the parking area down a boardwalk to the Hot Springs. There is an Alpha pool the cooler of the two at 108 degrees and a Beta pool at 126 degrees. We chose the Alpha which was plenty warm enough to relax our weary, driving-strained muscles ;)

The only downside was the swarms of mosquitos that were likin to eat us alive when we were out of the water!
