Lake Louise - Chateau Fairmont

Traveled from Banff via Lake Moraine to the Chateau Fairmont on Lake Louise. Hard to put into words how beautiful this place is. It sits on Lake Louise which is an aqua color from the mineral runoffs from the mts. Have a 5:30AM wakeup call to see the sunrise over Lake Louise. Tomorrow headed to the Columbia Icefields for a ride on a Glaciermobile, then overnight south of the Jasper National Park.

Touring Banff on 7/22

Spent our 2nd beautiful day in Banff touring Johnston Canyon, Bow Falls, Banff Springs Hotel, walked about 7 miles so far today. Might have to have another Canadian Lager for dinner to help me sleep! Yeah, like I'll need any help after today.
