 We made it to Alberta Falls, rested and headed on to the Loch.  Ashley and Zach turned back at this point.  Zach could go no further.

 Time for trail snacks.

And....a picture of the bluff where the bear was!!!  LOL  This is our car on the left at our campsite on the way to the park. The bear was up on that bluff.  We walked across the street to wherre the grass end to look at it.  So exciting, but sad to say....no picture.
