My power went off for about two seconds, thanks to the dreadful late summer snowstorm that we are having. Just long enough to lose the description that I had almost finished here, ha. This time, I think I will save it a bit at a time. This photo was taken on the second day of a three-day trip I was lucky enough to go on with friends, Cathy and Terry. The first two days, 26 and 27 August 2014, were spent in Waterton Lakes National Park. Within the park, there are four different drives one can do. They are the short Bison Paddock Loop, Red Rock Parkway, Chief Mountain HIghway, and Akamina Parkway. The last one leads to Cameron Lake, where I took this photo. Our third day was spent driving eastwards across part of southern Alberta and then doing the long drive back to Calgary. An incredible three days!

One of the roads within Waterton Lakes National Park ends at Cameron Lake. We did several drives along the various roads - this photo was taken on 27 August 2014, our second day in the park. "At an elevation of 1646 meters (5400 ft) this picturesque alpine lake offers the pristine beauty of a remote mountain environment and is only a short drive from the Waterton Village. Getting to Cameron Lake is almost as beautiful as being there. Drive 16 km (10 miles) along the Akamina Parkway, which is clearly marked just outside the village. Twists and turns in the road will reveal numerous rustic picnic areas. You will also drive past Oil City - Western Canada's first oil well. This is a National Historic site. At the end of this short journey, you will feast your eyes on the stunningly beautiful views of Cameron Lake. Enjoy a picnic on the shores of this aquamarine wonder, explore the easy hiking trails that skirt the lake or rent a boat or a kayak for an even closer experience."
