Today we went to Lake Louise and the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise. Lake Louise is regarded as one of the world’s seven natural wonders. The hotel is one of the most photographed hotels in the world. Over 10,000 tourists per day visit Lake Louise in the summer. It’s only summer here a short time each year, the lake doesn’t get above 39 degrees in August.

We also visited Moraine Lake, not too far from Lake Louise and almost as spectacular. We rode the ski lift/gondola up Mt. Whitehorn (near Lake Louise Village) 2,000 feet above the lodge and got some great views of the area. We took the Bow Valley Parkway back to Banff and spotted a Mountain Sheep right next to the road. No Moose have been seen yet.

One more day in the park and then on to Jasper National Park.
