Once we were settled at Whistler's Provincial Park we took a road trip to Magligne Lake. The lake is considered to be one of the most scenic spots in the Canadian Rockies at 14 miles long. Boat cruises are available as well as canoe rentals. Miss Saddi was ready to go!!!!
Paved roads beautiful views
Medicine Lake
Medicine Lake is not your average mountain lake. In summer, glacier meltwater floods the lake, sometimes overflowing it. BUT in fall and winter, the lake disappears with no visible channel draining the lake. It's unclear where the water goes...a veritable disappearing lake phenomenon.....
In fact, the lake drains from the bottom like a bathtub.
Bighorn Sheep
Maligna Lake stretches to the meltwater channels of Coronet Glacier
It is beautiful
Rent a canoe and paddle the 14 miles
Or take a 90 minute boat ride
Snow capped mountains surround the lake
Capt Rik could get a job
Saddi and I could watch all day long
Caribou Crossing
The mountain range is awesome
Medicine Lake once again....it's still there
Major burn...you can still smell the smoke
Something to see and something to make you think
Jasper National Park has been quite a trip
We have traveled 2,380 miles since leaving Southern Illinois. The Canadian Rockies are beautiful. We will be back on our way home next fall. We are ready to head for Alaska.
