Our tour guide, Anik took us out via the scenic route and gave a nice history of the region and helped us spot out some of the local wildlife (unfortunately those pics are all on my camera and not on my phone).
We made a few stops before we made it to the Chateau Lake Louise. It is a super fancy hotel but we managed to find a deli which served food at a bit more reasonable price before donning snowshoes (the first time to do that for me) and going for a bit of a walk up to a lookout which looked down over the frozen lake and hotel. It was a bit of a hike up the mountain but definitely worth it.
It snowed quite a bit waking up to the lookout, in the above pic you can still see the snow falling on the mountain behind the hotel.
From there I wandered around the lake a bit, soaked up the scenery and admired the (melted) ice castle they have had here since December.
I still can't get over how much snow there was around. The only other time I have really seen snow was skiing in grade 12 and there we didn't even have close to a 1/6th of the amount of snow piled up around here.
It was a great day :-) snow is so beautiful.
