There is no better way to celebrate your arrival in Canada at midnight than with a doughnut.

Lake Minnewanka (I think). Lots of people scuba diving in here.

A mountain. I'm really bad with names.

Scenic overlook. Well, except for the pinhead in the lower-right, screwing up the picture.

Yeah...I know. I've got a thing with railroads.

Heading off on the Great Divide Road. A nice seven-mile stretch closed to automobile traffic.

The Great Divide not only splits the water flow between the Atlantic and Pacific, but it's also the border between Alberta and British Columbia.

Ditto. Sure wish I had a picture of the actual divide. (Hint, hint)

A view from about 2/3 of the way up Sunwapta Pass. That sucked. And the headwind didn't help.

Looking up the glacier we went out on, to the Columbia Icefields. 325 square miles of ice. That'd make a lot of drinky-drinks.

The entire crew, with the exception of Mike.

The view from our balcony at the Rimrock Hotel. Really.

The cycle of life comes full-circle. The last thing I ate in Canada was the same as the first thing. A doughnut. (Andrea's half-eaten doughnut in the background.)
