We started this day at the Lake Louise Ski resort riding the chairlift to the top. The views are spectacular. The mountains seems to go on and on in this part of Canada. I always thought Yosemite was beautiful, and it is, but it cannot compare to the awesome sights here. Waterfalls, lakes and rivers abound.
Next up was a scenic drive to Banff – approx. 30 miles from Lake Louise. On my bucket list was lunch at the Fairmont Banff Springs. After years of seeing it in magazines I was finally there having lunch at the Lookout Restaurant and standing in front of this historic building! We then went into the quaint town of Banff a much larger version of Jasper but still very much like a Swiss village. On the way home Clark’s day was complete because we saw some big horn sheep on the side of the road.
I would love to come back to the Fairmont someday as a guest for about a week!
