Warning to visitors to Moraine Lake

Yes I understand glass is heavy I also question the incessant need for all these bloated lenses.  When I worked for the newspapers we could push to 3200 iso and that was it.  Most of my bike riding experience through parks has been lugging camping gear/food plus a full frame camera so I know it can be done. There are handlebar bags and panniers that can be outfitted to carry fragile gear.

 Now with electric assist bikes I see old out of shape people cruising  up hills in MT so I don't see it being a major restriction.  In fact instead of increasing permitted commercial shuttles it would be great to see more electric bike rental places adjacent to park entrances. 

Yes a great heads up, hopefully people planning their trips this year will think of taking bikes along with them. You will see more wildlife on a bike almost guaranteed than in a car.
