Lake Louise

Welcome to Lake Louise

Flag of Alberta

We visited Lake Louise once in 2009 for a couple of days on one of our motor home trips.  We went there to see the sights of Lake Louise and the surrounding area.  What we did not plan was the horseback ride around one side of the lake and then up into the mountains close to the glacier.   The was one of the highlights of our entire trip and a really fun time.
