This is the final day of our flight across Canada.  We left Regina Saskatchewan and flew to Drumheller Alberta to visit our student Justin who is working for Alpine Helicopters.

Then we flew over to Canmore Alberta and stopped to visit another past student Renee.  Canmore is just before you get to Banff in the Canadian rockies.  It's near Lake Louise.

Then we left Canmore and flew over the rockies at 11,000' towards Kelowna.  On the way we stopped at the most incredible glacier lake up at 7000' for a swim.  There were actually icebergs in the water.  We felt like Wim Hof when we went in:

What we really needed was an incredible slip and slide like this:
