government will soon be using bitumen to grind up rocks to make glacial flour and delivering it to the lakes. I just saw the photo of Kenney and that brought up my fear that the glaciers are all disappearing. There is a reason why the US does not have that many glacial flour pretty turquiose lakes... fewer glaciers because it is hotter. Lake Agnes itself, just above Lake Louise, was not fed by a glacier so it wasn't turquiose. Kenney should drive around in a SUV with one of those exhaust chimneys that spew black exhaust.

Let's hope Moraine lake still exists for travelers and honeymooners to come (my parents honeymooned in Western Canada too and spent time in Banff. They camped).
