Day 12 – 6/29/09 (Part 2) --- 100 miles (Bow Valley Parkway, Lake Louise and Lake Moraine)
45 at 7 AM --- 74 at 5 PM

After lunch at Lake Louise, we rode to Lake Moraine and Valley of the Ten Peaks.  This was another breath-taking ride.  We rented a canoe and paddled the entire length of Lake Moraine.  We then rode back to Banff via Trans-Canada 1.  We saw our second, wild moose just before Banff exit.  Of course, we had already put away the camera.
