I reckon that Indian Chief would make a few dollars from the tourists, lol.

 

I guess  that should read “ bucks” instead of dollars.

Well it seems that everyone knows what Lake Louise looks like.

I'll maybe post a different angle maybe.

This is from Lynn's camera

It is Canadia, where loonies and tweenies abound

I think you mixed up your nations there😂 in Stoney Nakoda the greeting is Âba Wathtech. Besides in Lakota, Háu is only a greeting from men to men so you pretty much ignored all the females on this thread 😜. Better to use the gender neutral Haŋ (pronounced hahn) or Haŋ Mašké if greeting a friend 🤗.

It's like saying Guten Morgan in Italy, just because they are both European languages you can't assume they all understand each other😉. Hell when I was in America people didn't even understand my English😂. All I could do was note the differences to communicate as accurately as possible, sometimes even had to alter my accent to be understood and I don't have a great American accent😬.

While we were walking to the hot springs at Harrison Lake  we met these guys. I thought Mr. Gut might appreciate

I'm confused😳. Is that a TV show?

This guy really had personality

One of the big highlights of the trip was the drive up the icefield parkway. It is a very pleasant drive on an excellent road. We encountered very few other vehicles. We made a few stops for photos but somehow the camera just can't capture the majesty of those vistas. I gave up and just drank in the view as we went along

[Blackduck59]

I like this one too

No………….. I am just giving up. 😱 I couldn’t care less about how to pronounce “ foreign” words  or who says what, it was just a photo of an Indian and old “saying” for them was Ugh How ..That is all I was saying.

Oh OK, sorry I guess whatever your were trying to say with the photo totally went over my head😂. I really thought you were mixing up languages. I completely take responsibility for this misunderstanding🤗.

I had the same problem up at Carnarvon Gorge. There is a particular part that no matter what I did with my camera it just didn't match the real world view. I don't know how some photographers do it, maybe I have the wrong equipment or not enough knowledge🤔. 

[Blackduck59]

I did try to get some photos and some are pretty good I think but nothing beats the real thing.

[Blackduck59]

I have driven through the Rockies several times, this was the first time doing the entire Icefield Parkway and also the first time we were not rushing to or from somewhere. So pleasant, such majesty.

[ilikeanswers]

Really beautiful pictures🤗, makes me want to do another Canadian trip. 

[Blackduck59]

The Columbia Ice Field is a big attraction but it has receded substantially even from the last time we saw it about 10 years ago.

Yes, a truly magnificent part of the world.

This was originally the Park Manager's house for Jasper National Park, it now houses the tourist information center and a not for profit gift shop.

I think I know where you took this, it is one gnarly hill 😉

I think I shot this from the same pull out

Our tour guide told us back in the day there was no need for vehicles they would just walk to the glacier

[Blackduck59]

That waterfall was impressive. Of course some millennials had their dance music blaring on the full sized SUV (it was a hybrid of course and it was running). After Lynn asked them to turn it off we could hear the waterfall.
