Saturday 2nd October- Lake Louise

Awake at 7.00 and look out of the bedroom windows to a scene of truly incomparable beauty, sunrise over Lake Louise with a totally breeze-free day giving us perfect reflections across the lake and beyond to the mountains.
We take our time over the buffet breakfast,hoping to milk the moment for all it is worth and eventually check out at just before midday after a memorable, if all too short a stay at the Fairmont.
Decide to take Highway 1A from Lake Louise to Banff rather Highway 1 and this gives us an opportunity to view many new sights, including the stunning Castle Mountain.
Arriving in Banff we check into the Tunnel Mountain Resort before setting off to Lake Minnewanka and Two Jacks Lakes. The evening light makes for yet another spectacular panorama and the sight of a herd of elks at close quarters nicely rounds off our time in this area ( we leave on the train for Kamloops tomorrow )
Sit up far too late catching up on the blogs but I have got there, albeit rather belatedly.
Cheers
A very sleepy Obese Ferret.
