RE: Canadian Rockies: The road to Lake Louise, A dirty hidden history?

Beautiful shots. It still looks pretty chilly out there, with that snow on the mountains and chilly fog in the air! Does someone live in that cabin, yet? Looks like a fun place to do a little exploring, as long as you've got the winter gear out, yet.

Sort:  

The cabin is actually the boathouse for the canoe rentals, not fit for human occupancy! lol

The temperature wasn't too bad, yest it was full of snow but it was still above the freezing mark. Definitely need a winter coat and a thermal under layer for altitude along with crampons to hike on the freeze/thaw cycle ice it creates but down in the valleys was really nice and trees where starting to bud. We went hiking more in the valleys and canyon because of high avalanche risk in the alpine areas. 3 hikers died in an avalanche in Banff a few days before our trip, melt time is dangerous in the mountains.
