Lake Louise

We had the late afternoon, evening and all of the following morning in Lake Louise.  We used the time well!

Lake Louise is a glacier fed lake.  That's Victoria Glacier that you see in so many photos, and Mount Victoria, I believe.  But, did you know that there is a two kilometre trail around one side of the lake?  Or, if you are more industrious and energetic (or simply have more time) there are several trails that will take you into the countryside -- and to at least two different tea shops?  We didn't have time to try to visit one of the tea shops (closest one was 3.6 K away), have lunch and be back in time for our 2 pm departure, so we walked the 2 K to the end of the lake.  And here's some of what we saw!

 And just in case you thought I might have left my knitting at home, here's my current test knit, visiting and admiring Lake Louise -- though only from our room!
