Hi Mum,
After a couple of weeks when we have hardly seen Smaug, today we were active again. The weather forecast was for more than 30 degrees, first time of the year 
....and maybe last time too 
So we left very early in the morning to go to a place called Fairview Mountain, that, at 2744m, is one of the highest points that you can reach with a trail in the Rockies national parks.
We started taking some pictures while still close to the valley floor. Here is the Bow Valley heading North...
And this is our destination for the day.....are we really going up there 
?
At this point sammino left us for a “reconnaissance mission” to the top and we met him only later on.
When we reached the top, smaug allowed us some rest while he looked for some got point for taking pictures...
...and sammino reappeared with some food for us 
When we asked how did he find kinder chocolate and a landjaeger in the middle of the mountains he said that a bird of prey never revels the secrets of his hunting territory...the fact that smaug, when he came back, started rummaging through the rucksack like someone who lost something was a bit suspicious....
After refilling our bellies we had a look around. The mountain is called Fairview for a good reason, the view is amazing The peak behind me and covered with ice is Mount Temple, the highest mountain in this part of the rockies.
This one is Mt Victoria, that closes the West side of Lake Louise...
...and that down there is Lake Louise, 1km below me, wow .
That is again the Bow valley. The cut in the trees is Highway 93, better known as the Icefields Parkway...I guess the name is quite self explanatory 
On the way down we took a few more pictures. That’s Mount Temple again...
...Fairview Mountain from which we just came down...
...and the Lake Louise ski area.
