There were a ton of marmots, chipmunks, and squirrels on the way. The weather wasn't very good. We could see clouds everywhere. People had been telling us that it had been raining days since they got in Canada. J knew how much I hate getting rained on. We wrapped myself in water proof stuff. On the way, he kept asking me how I am, and the answer was, "invincible"!
We climbed up once again to the end of the map, and once again, there was more to the summit. It was the interesting thing about how different J and I feel. I always wondered if it was because of the feeling of conquering another summit to keep J moving forward and fast. For me, the summits all look the same, and I don't need to tackle every single one of them. One summit in an area is good enough for my little mind.
Maligne was this long gorgeous lake. The guide in the information center told us that people usually take the boat to the center of the lake for one famous tourist shot! That was probably why we didn't do that. In general, neither J and I am crazy about getting crowded with people...
On the way back to the campsite, we saw a caribou(Later we learned that it may just be an elk), and a bear not very far from the campsite eating berries on the side of the road. We took a few pictures and drove back to our camp post. After cooking some deliciousness, J and I were ready to have a feast. In the middle of it, J spat the words quietly, "a bear"! We stood up and stared at the bear. It was just a living room away. He was so quiet eating the berries around. I would have not noticed the bear if Jared weren't there. The bear didn't care about us at all. It smoothed its way up and disappeared. J and I felt relieved and quickly finished our dinner. I told our neighbor about the bear encounter and she looked definitely worried.
