Lake Louise


Aug 25. The weather is pretty bad in Jasper when I get up but I make tracks back down the Icefield Parkway and arrive at Lake Louise at about lunchtime. The weather has thankfully cleared up a bit which dashed my plans to do no hiking today but the weather forecast is bad for the next day so I decide to do a small stroll of 15km!. The parking lot by Lake Louise is a bit of a fiasco and takes ages to find a space but when I get there and catch my first glimpse of the lake it is pretty sweet. The lake is a turquoise colour and you can see a huge glacier off into the distance. Chateau Lake Louise dominates one end of the Lake as well - A pretty expensive place to stay but apparently does a pretty mean 5 course fondue!
