Lake Louise (1 of 3)

June 3, 2024 in Canada ⋅ ☁️ 4 °C

We Headed North of Banff to visit the Peyto Lake viewpoint. As you capture your first glimpse of the lake all you can think, or say, is WOW😮! It is truly breathtaking. It’s one of the iconic views of the Canadian Rockies. The turquoise water amongst the mountains 🤩 We were in on a little secret to get to the upper view point which was incredible that an extra 10-minute walk yielded such tranquility. We took on the slushy snow trail to get up to it. Worth it!

Next stop was Bow lake - a thin layer of pancake ice - never seen that before. I call it the “slushy” of the lakes. The view looks like it is not real but a painting you can get lost in

Final stop for the day was Lake Louise. From its vivid turquoise waters to the soaring peaks encircling the lake, Lake Louise is a stunning mountain setting. Unlike Lake Peyto, we could get
up close and personal 😊. We walked along the trail near the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise to the back of the lake and glad we did because the mesmerizing green/blue body of water was more intense on the other side 😍🏔️

On the way to the cabin, it was suggested to travel on the Bow River Pkwy for an opportunity to see wildlife, and sure enough, we ended the day with a bear sighting 🐻Read more
