New Year at Lake Louise

After a short bus ride we arrived at the beautiful Lake Louise, and like Banff, packed with people. Being New Year's Eve I guess that is not surprising. Again we stayed at the Fairmount and  again it was all that the adds make it appear, just magnificent. Room was a little on the small size and the bathroom just minute, but the beds are great and we were comfortable.




Than it was off for a sleigh ride along the side of the lake, a magnificent way to enjot the magnificent setting. Lake Louise was more like I had imagined the Rockies to be. Imposing mountains and lots more snow on the ground, the picture postcard scene, with people skating on the lake around the magnificent ice castle and the crispy white snow.




We had a lovely dinner that evening, but didn't quite make it through to the party and the New Year. All this traveling and the fresh air makes you pretty tired - that's my excuse anyway and I'm sticking to it. But it was a lovely day and a greaaat way to end 2013.
