MikeRC Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Mid week road trip that is. Sorry, it's a bit early for the RT to go outside the city. Actually I still have ice on my side street, so it isn't even getting out of the garage. Destination for the day: The Truffle Pig's Cafe in Field, B.C. for some curried root vegetable soup and Montreal smoked meat sandwich. Here's the old train station in Field. If you didn't know, there is no CPR passenger train service anymore out west. So that station hasn't seen anything inside but field mice for over 40 years. The day was so nice, that rather then go straight back to the city we took a little detour north on the Banff-Jasper Highway. Past Mt Hector: And then north to the end of Bow Lake, where what should appear out of the snow but a little sign to one of Whip and Mrs Whip's favorite places: Here's the Lodge in the winter, Larry: With a beautiful view of Bow Glacier to the west: And Waputik Peak to the south: Well, things could be worse while I'm waiting for spring.

MikeRC Posted February 23, 2008 Author Share Posted February 23, 2008 Hey everyone, a pleasure to post some pics of my corner of the world. Larry, maybe come up one winter and stay there, do a little cross-country skiing in the area. Or if you do backcountry skiing go up Mosquito Creek to Molar Pass. You do have avalanche training, right It's also just 20 minutes away from Lake Louise ski hill. Or maybe walk up some frozen creeks/waterfalls in the area. Or just enjoy the contrast along the Banff-Jasper Highway: Summer vs: Winter. Mike Cassidy Link to comment
