Lake Louise, Peyto Lake & Bow Valley Parkway

Readers of the post below will know that we spent the past weekend at Lake Louise with Jan's parents, who are visiting us from the UK. We've stopped at Chateau Lake Louise three times now, always with a lake view from our room, but never one quite like this...Down at lake level, the scene was perfect...A trip up onto the Icefields Parkway never disappoints and even in the relatively gloomy weather, Peyto Lake remained a breathtaking view...Heading down to Banff, we thought we would get off the main road and onto the quieter Bow Valley Parkway...You know how frustrating it is when you need dental floss and there is none around...At this point in proceedings, we don't think we will ever tire of having the Rockies on our doorstep.
