Lake Minnewanka, Alberta, Canada

We took a short hike along the edge of one of Banff National Park's larger lakes, Lake Minnewanka, which is near the town of Banff. There was absolutely noone else there, except for an impromptu wedding between a couple from South America that was being held out on a snow-buried boat ramp. We were asked to sign as witnessed, but someone else beat us to it. The scenery was amazing, especially since there was a snow storm progressing along the lake while we were there. You can see the edge of the snow line creeping in from the right side of the photo...by the end of the hike, we were in whiteout conditions.
