Canada, Eh? (Part 1)

Over the weekend I drove up to Calgary to watch Alex (and other Missoula triathletes) race in the innaugural Ironman 70.3 Calgary. On the way up there - my first trip to Canada, by the way - I drove through Glacier National Park, which was absolutely stunning.

I'll limit this post to pictures of the drive (and only a small number of the pictures I took). Pictures from the race will follow in another post. Enjoy!

Lunch alongside the lake. Yes, my hat is doubling as a plate. Don't judge me - it worked well.

Clearly I had to take off my shoes and wade in the water.

Self portrait?

Out of the park now, about to cross into Canada:

On both sides of the road, for as far as the eye could see, the plains were covered in these flowers. They were masses of small yellow buds, but given a greenish tint from the stalks behind them. They just glowed.

The Calgary skyline!
