Lake Louise

From Banff we made the beautiful drive up to Lake Louise, James happy as Larry in our new truck and me happy to see some beautiful sights along the way. We arrived at Lake Louise along with the hundreds of others tourists eager to see the well talked up Lake Louise, and it certainly didn't disappoint. The day was a little bit cloudy but the pics still manage to capture the natural beauty that is Lake Louise.

About to explore the infamous Fairmont

We decided to be ambitious, so set off on a short hike to one of the tea houses that are renown for their ability to serve a tasty beverage after a well earned walk. After a forested 3.5km walk and an elevation gain of about 400m we were treated to these pretty amazing sites. Also just a quick note that there are no roads up to the Tea House so everything that is served on the menu has to be either hiked or brought up by horse back!

Enjoying the walk up the hill (and posing for the camera...ok so the walk wasn't that hard!)

After our hike we headed back to our camp ground which we had set up nicely earlier in the day and enjoyed a toasty Marshmallow (or ten!).
