Lake Louise ski area

Today we biked to the ski area and took the lifts to the top of the ski slope. On the way up 4 different people told us there was a grizzly in the meadow and we assumed it was probably fake, but actually, it was real.

After seeing the bear and the electric fence to bear proof the  visitor center we naturally decided to still exit through the gate and go for the hike to the kicking horse look out. (We did talk to three rangers about safety before going). We survived.

After dinner, we tried to sneak into the chateau. George and I got in, but they apparently didn’t want our business. It wasn’t nearly as cool as the banff springs hotel, nor as welcoming.

Lake Louise: Tea houses and Little Beehive.

Another great hike in banff national Park at Lake Louise. We all biked to Lake Louise (Ringo was in the dog pack) and then hiked to Lake Agnes where we got tea from the tea house and took a short rest. Then, we hiked to Little Beehive to have lunch. It was pretty strenuous, but absolutely worth it.

We split up after lunch and George and I hiked to the other tea house in the valley of 6 glaciers.

We walked over 30k steps.

Banff to lake Louise.

I’ve taken so many pictures the last 2 days. I’ll try to limit myself.

Yesterday we started the day with a short hike to lake Minnewanka

Then, whole gang rode the gondola to the top of sulfer mountain. The trip was short 7-8 minutes but just amazing views from the top. That was our last night in the tunnel mountain trailer court.

Today those of us with e-bikes took the road to moraine lake. The biking was easy and the pay off was outstanding.
