Bike Trip: Day 2 of 3

It wasn't hard to pack up, eat a quick breakfast and get back on the road in the morning!  We layered as many clothes as possible as the temperature was cool, and even cooler with the wind created by riding motorcycles.

One of the most incredible sights was an unnamed waterfall beside the road.  We were able to pull off and take some great shots of this unexpected scene!

For the next couple of hours the weather turned even colder and wet!  We put on our rain suits and drove carefully back down toward Lake Louise.  By the time we had lunch at the same restaurant as the day before, the sun was shining and we didn't see rain again for the rest of our trip.  (yay!)  The weather was hot, too, and we quickly took off as many layers as possible before we cooked.

It was amazing to me that once we crossed into BC, the remnants of forest fires were all around us, making the mountains look grey and bleak.  The many pine and cedar trees stood in silence like burnt matches. 

That night we stopped in Cranbrook, BC and visited the local Harley-Davidson dealer for yet another t-shirt.  Walking back from dinner to our hotel, we were accompanying by a mule deer leaping down the main road median.  She eventually turned into a back alley and safely off into the nearby field and woods.
