Today was Lydia's 20th birthday! We checked out of our Airbnb in Hinton and drove to our next destination in Canmore, just outside of Banff National Park. This time as we drove back down the Icefield Parkway, we made all the stops we didn't make as we drove up to Jasper/Hinton.
First stop: Athabasca Glacier
 |
| Saw this coyote running on the side of the road in the morning shortly after we left Hinton. |

| This is how far the glacier extended in 1982. I visited the glacier in 1985, so it was amazing to see how much the glacier had shrunk over the years. |
Second Stop: Mistaya Canyon
Third Stop: Peyto Lake
After we arrived at our next Airbnb in Canmore, we visited the grocery store to stock up for the next few days. One of the locals in the super busy grocery store informed us that the first Tuesday of every month was "15% off grocery day". We were happy to take advantage of this special! Later, we spent time in the pool/spa, played games, and had a special treat for Lydia's birthday--Beaver Tail pastries!
