Vermilion Lakes Dock Side

The Vermilion lakes just outside of Banff town are pretty stagnant in late July which makes perfect breeding ground for mosquitoes. We were not able to chill on this dock for long because of the swarms of mosquitoes. However, it would be a great place to relax in the fall once the mossies are gone.

Two Jack Lakeside View

Two jack lakeside is the most popular campsite in Banff National Park. They don't take reservations and give campsites on a first come first serve bases. So, I showed up at 7:00am the day we wanted to stay there and ended up getting a prime site right on the lake. I took this photo about 20 meters from our campsite, worth the early morning wait for this view.

Moraine Lake Yellow Mountains

I posted a photo of Moraine lake a month or so ago that quickly became my most popular photo with thousands of views with a couple of days. I took this photo on the same day a little later after sunrise so the mountains were lit up yellow instead of red like the other photo. Still an amazing color for the mountains.
