Lake Louise Re visited

We just had to go back and visit Lake Louise to see it when the ice had thawed. It is so stunning, the colour was not so green now but more turquoise.  We also enjoyed morning tea at the hotel. It was fun to go in and have a good look. the rooms evidently cost about $500 a night. The inside is what you would expect, very gracious and old fashioned.

The Lake was still a bit frozen

 We enjoyed a walk right along the side of the Lake which takes about an hour. There were so many photo stops. The ice was fascinating how it was melting. This photo shows all the long spears of ice.It will look better larger.

This is the park ranger trying to break up the ice, Lloyd joked and said they had put the Canadian Navy out to do the job, he was paddling around and banging the ice with his paddle. I think they wanted it clear so they could rent out their canoes. Evidently they charge $50 for 1/2hr so its good income for the park!!!
