A picture is worth a thousand words

Welcome to the

^^ Columbia Ice Field^^

This road is amazing!! Around each corner is another breathtaking view!

Stop, get out, sniff the fresh air then sniff the ground, and pee. There's ravens, marmots, and squirrels I want to chase, water I want to go in, but I'm always on the leash!

Me & Ma at the Athabaska Glacier

Ma didn't move MAWD from the front row view we had. All the cars (not many) left before we even finished our walk, so Ma said we were staying put for the night. We got up early and we were alone and it was quiet. Ma thought it would be good to go for a ride. She is getting much faster at getting the big machine off and back on MAWD, so she's always up for a ride.

It was kind of cold and too early for me! Ma was happy!

Markers with the years to show just how much the glacier has receeded.

Off we went when people started to come.

I was panting a lot so Ma would find me some more places to get out.

We walked in a few different places and finally came upon Horseshoe Lake.

It was a short but good walk in through the trees with a few fun obstacles.

What are we waiting for?? Let's swim!!

Ma only put her foot in, so I came up behind her and gave a big shake right as she was taking a photo.

I got her pretty wet!

If only you could have seen her face...a picture would have been worth a thousand words! But of course I don't have a camera.

Look, there's more water to try! Ma said no.
