When we got to Lake Louise, of course we found that the campground was closed! But there was the park agents who recived us. They told us to go to the hostel because at this time of the year a Grizzly bear is around and the high level of snow make it unable to activate the electric fences. The next morning, after the abrupt 4 km uphill, we finally reach lake Louise.
The blue sky allowed us to make some beautiful pictures. We could even walk on the lake when it is abnormal to see it frozen at that moment of the year. Then we appreciate the senic route down to Banff. The ambiance in this city is really special. It is a very touristic one but... at the same time you can watch deers walking downtown! Then we started going downhill towards the meadows and... a snowstorm!
Crossing Calgary was rather fast then, with the wind pushing us. We stopped to rest in Bassano where we found a park for the night. A man came to tell us about the weather, saying that bad weather was coming. He proposed us to sleep at his place with his family. It was a really nice evening. The next day, always with this terrible wind, we rid at a velocity of 45 km per hour without pedaling hard. It was just CRAZY!!! The road got dangerous when the snow started to accumulate. Luckily, we had a meeting in a warm house with a very welcoming couple in Medecine Hat. Bonnie and Doug were wonderful hosts, they allowed us to stay with them during the 4 days of snow, at the beginning of May!!!
