I agree with the Canadian Rockies statement. I did a trip ski trip starting in Banff, then to Kicking horse, then down to Fernie one year, it was incredible. Did the water in the picture have a milky green shade like this one?

I have been wanting to do a trip like that and hit some of the other resorts too like Whitewater, Big White, Red Mountain, Silver Star, plus the resorts you went to. That would be a 2 or 3 week trip though. None of the resorts are large but I like to try new ones out.
As for the water of the lake, it wasn't greenish but just brighter than what is pictured. I have a giant framed picture that looks very similar to this photo (not mine). As you can see the water looks even brighter. (sorry its so big but I didn't feel like downloading it, resizing, then uploading...)

By the way, where is your shot from? I have seen similar colored water in Colorado.

Great pics, Demosthenes. The only scenic pics I have are Florida lakes, lol. Next weekend I'm going to Ohio, might get some colorful autumn shots if I'm lucky.

Blanca lake. Its a mountain lake in the north cascades area. It's no 14er, but it's a nice hike in anyways. The only peak over 14k around here is Mt. Rainier, and that's not your average weekend hiking trip!

No it isn't. I do have plans to climb it in the future though. Even though there are 54 14ers in Colorado, I think Rainier looks more impressive because of the altitude change and the fact there aren't any other tall mountains nearby. It's been two years since I was there. Time to go back.....

My niece is going ROTC at UMD (univ of Minnesota-Duluth), following in the footsteps of veterans her dad the Two-Putter and late uncle Gator Dave who was ROTC UF class of 1980. Not to go all toohot or anything, but our country is a better place if this young lady has anything to say about it. As you can tell, I am one seriously proud uncle of this young lady:
LTR--Mom, Steffi, and the Two Putter
