Sabbath morning we had our church service, which was a Kenneth Cox DVD of the Second Coming of Christ. We left our campsite at Lake Louise and drove the Icefields Parkway to Jasper. It is called "Icefields" because of all the glaciers along the route. We took our time and made a number of stops to take pictures. We passed a SUV that had "Bear Guardian" on its sides and also pictures of bears. Volunteers patrol the park's roads to help protect both the bears and bear watchers. A bear just happened to be within sight of the vehicle. There are a number of lakes along the drive. Peyto Lake looked unreal. Had we not known better, we would have thought someone had dumped bottles of blue coloring into it. The blue and green colors of the lakes and rivers are caused by various minerals. A few of the lakes still had ice on the surface. The "Weeping Wall" is created by melting snowfields that find their way through cracks in the mountain wall and emerge as a series of graceful waterfalls--just some of the falls we saw.
