Lake Louise and Moraine Lake

| Lake Louise |
So today we need to do the best we can to manage the crowds at Lake Louise. We leave the campground at 6:00 am to make sure we get a place to park and discover we are one of the first arriving! Bonus points for us! We had breakfast as we drove and finished up in the parking lot. It was all good planning as we could enjoy this beautiful and so well known emerald lake. We had to bundle up a little since it was only 40 degrees and a bit foggy.
We walked along the Lakeside trail with delightful views back toward the Fairmont Lake Louise Hotel. The clouds moved in and out creating new views around each corner.

We returned to the Hotel and enjoyed a hot drink before climbing the Lake Agnes Trail to the tea house. Here we found another picturesque lake, a few more people and a really good Chai Tea and soup.
We made our way down the mountain and drove to the Lake Louise village. We explored an old train depot that is now a restaurant, did a little shopping and had dinner at an Asian eatery.
Because a person can never get enough lakes and mountains we headed on to Moraine Lake. The people management rule says to wait till early evening to drive up to this lake. By then, many of the crowds have left and there is room to park. This worked great and we enjoyed an evening walk by the lake with the mountains towering around us.
