Hello Beth, this looks like a pretty spot for camping.. I would think it is hard to find a campground that is not crowded.. I like the trees and lake, very pretty scene and photos.. Have a happy day!

Beth, looks like a lovely spot, but I remember many camping days that were spent in the rain. Not the best way to spend a weekend, for sure. At least you had a beautiful spot.

Banff is a wonderful place to visit. The world class scenery extends north and is all very attractive. I like the two individuals in that first shot. A very good post.

Beautiful site in a perfect park. Bill always spends time looking for the perfect campsite. Sometimes I remind him that were not actually buying the place.

We both shared such a love for travel & photography. You will be missed. Rest In Peace, great "CameraGirl", RIP! ( : Where do we even start?, I continued to say to my hubby throughout our trip to Washington, Oregon, northern CA back in August 2015, that I wondered how I could take a picture of the whole tall tree? The trees in in the eastern US are huge, but the trees out west are gigantic, massive, huge!! There are .... THEY ARE! ...how do I even begin to show a picture of these awesome trees? I don't own a fancy camera just a normal point and shoot. How do I express to you the magnitude of how tall these massive trees are? they are huge!!! & will you
