Lake Moraine

Sunrise was at 7:45 am but it never came for our Lake Moraine Sunrise Tour. Up at 4, at the Banff Train Station pickup (pitch black and I forgot my flashlight) at 515, at the Rockpile viewing site at 7.

While the sun was unable to punch through the overcast clouds and paint the peaks behind Lake Moraine, there was no wind so we got excellent reflections on the lake. And Lake Moraine is stunning, reflecting the tall peaks surrounding it.

After it was clear there would be no sunrise, I walked a little of the Lakeshore Trail before returning to the shuttle van. After being dropped off at Banff Train Station, I walked into town for a Cajun breakfast at Tooloulou's.Read more
