• Lake Louise
  "stunning lake louise"
  "lake louise in banff national park was spectacular in its natural beauty. the majestic rockies towering over their closely guarded secret, lake louise, makes one feel as if one is about to experience an opera about to begin. The shimmering aquamarine water embibes the colour from the finely ground m..."elted water of the glaciers that is carried down to it. the mountains were mostly snow-covered as we had gone in September. we had lunch at the regal Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise hotel and spent the afternoon hiking along the shores of the lake. here and there one can view the lonely caribou or sometimes even a herd. we even saw an intrepid wolf cub on our drive back home which had ventured out on the roads.

  "If you get the opportunity, take this drive...simply stunning"
  "Between unending photo opps of majestic mountains, some still with glaciers of snow & ice, beautiful alpine lakes, canyons & waterfalls and wildlife - I saw black bears, big-horned mountain sheep, mountain goats, deer, etc. while driving the route, this drive is unmatched. I traveled through Co..."lorado, Arizona, Nevada, California, Oregon& Washington in the previous month & tho I'm a bit biased being Canadian, this drive imo tops the Pacific Coast Highway, the Mount Hood/Historic Columbia Highway route and the drive to Vail/Aspen from Denver....The Cdn Rockies may not be as high as their counterpart in Colorado, but it seemed there were more of them to almost overwhelm you...and nowhere was the wildlife as evident...

• Lake Louise
  "A bit disappointed that the lake was still mostly frozen in mid-May..."
  "Was anticipating the aqua-green color of the water that is featured in so many photos of the lake, but the lake was still largely frozen. It was a bit surprising to see that, since some surrounding lakes (Minnetonka, Jack, etc.) were ice-free and colorful (tho nearby Moraine Lake wasn't even acces..."sible as the access road was closed!) Was told that the ice-melt is usually done by 3rd week in June - so I would suggest planning your trip late June or later if possible. " More >
