In the company of much improved weather, today was a visit north of Banff to Lake Louise. In addition to Lake Louise the plan had always been to also visit Moraine Lake, but unfortunately that did not happen, the whole area was far too busy ~ I am mean enormously busy. The car parks were jammed to overflow with hundreds of vehicles (cars, buses and RV’s), resulting in the only way to access Moraine Lake was by a shuttle bus service provided by the Banff National Park. Upon enquiry, it was discovered that the first available reservation for this service was at 5.00pm in two days’ time ….!!!!
I visited both Lake Louise and Moraine Lake back in June 1991, I recall then easily driving to both locations without any problems, or encountering vast crowds or being sent a distance away to an overspill car park ~ how times have changed in 32 years ...
Below is a
selection of today’s pics. Only minutes after taking the first photo, we
actually saw a Black Bear eating lunch at the side of the road, no stopping for this
photo op ….
Beautiful area! The mountains are glorious and majestic. Wishing you had put me in your suitcases and taken me along too.
