Today we arrived at the Icefields Visitor Center and found that it included a large parking lot that allowed dry camping. We hadn’t been successful making any reservations anywhere in the Lake Louise, Banff, or Canmore area so we were pleased to find a spot here. We setup and then had lunch in the visitor center. It was very reminiscent of a ski lodge during ski season. The crowds were unbelievable. After lunch we took Maverick and joined what seemed like thousands of others to hike to the Athabasca Glacier. The hike wasn’t long but was steep. The best part was the wind off of the glacier was very cool. After the hike, Donna, Maverick and I hung out on the patio of the visitor center and enjoyed the nice weather, beautiful views, and a cold drink. The temperature here was quite pleasant so no A/C was not a big problem.
