Banff (July 7-10 '04)

After a quick two days in Istanbul, I flew to Calgary and then took a limo to Banff where I gave a keynote at the ICML conference the next morning. After that and a day attending tutorials I managed to get out one evening and hike up the trail from Lake Louise towards the Plain of 6 Glaciers with Eric Xing, Irene Ong, and Maleeha Qazi. The amazing thing about the pictures from this hike is that it took place between 6 and 9:30pm. The next day I did a 20km hike up Sulpher mountain from town and the last series of photos is from that hike.
