July 24, 2013 David Thompson Campground, in the rocky mountain foothills....

Our drive west into the Canadian Rockies (from Rocky Mountain House) was awesome!  As we rounded every curve, we oohed and aahed.  Pretty soon we saw a long aqua-blue-green lake, the color of which was amazing.  Eventually we arrived at our campground, named David Thompson Resort.  David Thompson was an intrepid explorer who mapped this whole area a long time ago.  Our campground has a viewpoint over the Abraham Lake, which is just breathtaking.  Here's a few images from the campground....

Bear-wrestler!

Memorial Chapel on the grounds, overlooking the lake.

See what I mean about the color of the water?  Glacial!

Mountains everywhere!
