ORMOND BEACH , FL - - Now that we're back in OB we have a lot more free time. So we go browsing through the photos of other adventures we've had. We like the Canadian Rockies and have vacationed there a number of times. The hiking is spectacular. The above photo is one of my favorites as is the location: Lake O'Hara in Yoho National Park just outside Field, British Columbia. To hike here you must get a 'permit' from the park service - - easier said than done because of strict limitations on each day's numbers. You remote park in an area a short distance off the highway and take a 9-mile ride in a school bus before off-loading. The daily allocation of hikers works two-fold in keeping the area pristine and the trails relatively empty: There is a private lodge and cabins on the lake which discourage the "unwashed hordes" from coming near; and there are plenty of scenic trails to hike for all skill levels.
Double-click on the pic and you'll be better able to see the lodge/cabins on the lake in che center of the picture.
