We packed up the cabins Tuesday morning and hit the road again. One last photo of the kids in front of the Pine Bungalow:
We took another slow trip back, detouring to see cool sites and to take a few short hikes. First stop was angel glacier:

| Mt. Edith Cavell, with a blizzard blowing on top |
 |
| Angel Glacier |
 |
| We heard a crack and realized a piece of the glacier was breaking off |
 |
| You can see the spot where it broke |
 |
| From the side, you can see how thick the ice is |
 |
| Glacial pond |
 |
| That's ice that rings the water |
 |
| little floating icebergs |
 |
| he thought the sun was too bright |

| boys with rocks, part 6 |

| rugged plants growing out of the rocks |
From the hike back down:
 |
| Can you spot the marmet? |
Our second stop was majestic Sunwapta Falls, which had a paved walk all the way around:
Last stop of the day was Mistaya Canyon, which we just got a quick peek at because it started to thunder as soon as we got there:
Whew! Great trip. We got up and flew back to Virginia the next day (Wednesday) and are slowly getting ourselves ready for the school year which starts next week.
