Off again to a new destination

Oh, life is hard when it's all recreation

Waterfalls galore we saw at Johnston Canyon

Missed the next turn, so Silverton falls walk we did abandon

Once again, we were at Lake Louise

Can we stop Donna asked, oh pretty please

But onward we really must go

Over the pass to the park of Yoho

A quick stop we made in the village of Field

To see what strength their internet would yield

The sunshine has gone, above us it's grey

But at Kicking Horse campground we ended another great day

On the mountain above there is a famous train line

Using two spiralled tunnels it manages the incline

Steak, egg and chips Donna did cook

Late going to bed, no time for a book

We awoke in the morning and the mountains were none

Lots of RV's had already gone

Bacon for breakfast with an egg on the side

A big mug of tea before taking Tilly for a ride

It rained in the night, higher up it was snow

Up Yoho valley we decided to go

The road went up, sharp zigs and zags

A waterfall we spied high up in the crags

Takakkaw falls, seven times taller than Niagara

Frozen stiff in winter without help from Viagra

With boots laced up, down the trail we walked

In case of bears we sang and we talked

What's this we see, it must be the sun

But the clouds on the mountains are still spoiling the fun

In just a few days the leaves have turned gold

The temperature is dropping, it's decidedly cold

What is that smell we both can sniff

Our hiking clothes need washing they are starting to whiff

Laughing falls, we stopped to take in the view

From our new flask we had a steaming hot brew

We turned back from here, the forecast was poor

Inside Tilly we would be dry for sure

To Emerald lake we did head

But the road was closed, two people were dead

On learning of the fatal crash

Back to the campground we went in a flash

Instead we sauntered up the 'Walk in the Past' Trail

High up it went to explore the old train rail

On old steam loco we found in a heap

Abandoned and twisted, there it did sleep

Back to the campground, the traffics still queued

Our Emerald Lakes plan was reviewed

Snacks and steaming hot showers

No lake today we've lost too many hours

Heavy rain and then moments it's sunny

The weathers unpredictable, it's really not funny

The clouds clear briefly to show peaks up above

Huge hanging glaciers, white like a dove

For dinner tonight we're having a chop

With roasters and stuffing and gravy on top

Our stay in Yoho is just one full day

Tomorrow we leave for Park kootenay
