"After a 9 hour drive from Vancouver, we started cresting the mountain pass into Banff National Park as we noticed a bright cloud in the sky.

After a little while I pulled over, turned the lights off and noticed the color in the cloud. It was not in fact a cloud... it was the Aurora Borealis!

We rushed to this spot and setup so we could watch the lights all night!"

First Lake Colors

This photo at First Lake captures the spirit of a great camp spot. You can almost smell the fresh mountain air and feel the warmth of the sun through the trees.
