Last summer I hiked around parts of Moraine Lake in Banff National Park, (too many tourists to do it right!), but it was a stunning view just the same, and from some angles I could get shots sans people. I’m going back there very soon BEFORE the tourist season starts so I can take a day to explore it in more detail.
There was one lone paddler amongst all the sightseers, and I would have given almost anything to hitch a ride with him to the far shore of the lake where people couldn’t get to. But why should I spoil his adventure – he took off in a hurry eager to enjoy the unreal emerald waters and the sunlight that danced on each wave. Lucky man.
