Lake Minnewanka lies in the heart of the Canadian
Rockies. It is the largest lake in Banff
National Park. On our Lake Cruiser tour we
learned that the First Nations people refer to the lake as the “water of the
spirit”, because of the rising mountains and the swift currents whipped by
sudden winds. We saw first hand the
rugged beauty, steeped in history, and native folklore. It was a wonderful afternoon.
After our boat ride we stretched our legs on a trail along
the water’s edge. There were lots of
picnic spots and lovely wildflowers.
We met some locals along the side of the road. Big horn sheep spend their afternoons in the shade of the vegetation entertaining visitors with cameras.
