Bryan Cranston Instagram – Today we head down highway 93, the Icefields Parkway… the scenery continues to astonish… It’s hard to take a bad shot in this environment. And when you see a cluster of cars along the side of the road it is usually due to a wildlife sighting…
Coming upon the Columbia Ice field was a surprise to me… this glacier that I walked on over 55 years ago on a similar summer day, was now a fraction of the size it used to be… Climate Change in full effect.
When we arrived at astonishing Lake Louise, it took our breath away. This Lake is how I remembered it when I was last here in 1971.
And in reverse angle the majestic Chateau Lake Louise, one of the Crown Jewels of the Fairmont Hotels. This is a “must stay” because it is the only hotel on the lake, and in the mornings and evenings it feels like you have it all to yourself.
The canoe ride across the lake was so peaceful and serene. And for the foodies out there, check this out… Robin shouted “Don’t eat it!… take a picture first.” Right. And delicious.
The next day we set off on a hike nearby at the incredible Lake Moraine… We just kept shaking our heads at the pure beauty. Where the angle of Lake Louise makes it look a Gorgeous Green, the angle of Lake Moraine turns it a Brilliant Blue.
It was time to wrap up our stay at the Chateau, so about 10:30pm (sun sets very late this far north) I took this shot from our balcony of a very peaceful Lake Louise… Till next time, Goodnight, Your Majesty.
Tomorrow we head further south to Banff… see ya then.
