Wersquove said in the past that we all naturally prefer the US to Canada and how happy we were to be back in the states earlier in the triphellipbut we all agreed the Canadian Rockies out do the American Rockies hands down These mountains are higher deeper and grander than any wers http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Canada/Alberta/Lake-Louise/blog-441635.html From MarjaThe last couple of days has been looking at the most amazing views. Shell made her mind up that she loved Canada at around Vancouver. I have been impressed but not willing to commit to the Wow this is amazing rating until now. You really do need to do something spectacular to be on par with NZ Peru and Scotland but yes the Canadian Rocky Mountains has made the grade. I won't pi http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Canada/Alberta/Lake-Louise/blog-436642.html Ueber den Columbia Icefield Highway die offiziell schoenste Strasse der Welt ging es durch die Rockies richtung Sueden zum Lake Louise wo ich 2 Naechte versteckt im Wald gecampt und die wunderschoenen Berge und Seen der Umgebung erkundet hab Nicht so nen WildnisGefuehl wie ich es gewohnt bin aber nen bisschen Sightseeing muss ja auch mal sein Zum Video Wusstet ihr dass Stachelschweine http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Canada/Alberta/Lake-Louise/blog-423481.html Sur le pouce...En tant que ldquotouriste de baserdquo visitant le Parc National de Banff nous nous devions d'aller voir le Moraine Lake decrit comme etant le plus beau Lac de la region. Cependantm l'aventure ne fut pas simple au contraire de Lake Louise qui est relativement proche de sa ville eponyme celuici est distant de 14km du centre du village.Nous voulumes alors nous renseigner a http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Canada/Alberta/Lake-Louise/blog-417279.html En vue de ce que nous avons vecu durant une semaine le premier reflexe que nous ayons eu en arrivant a Lake Louise petite ville tres touristique de 1500 habitants fut de prendre un dejeuner digne de rois Nous primes donc de quoi nous restaurer pour 4 chacun au Laugan's etablissement ou travaille Jonathan que nous avons rencontre quelaues jours auparavant en tant que Supervisor. Nous a http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Canada/Alberta/Lake-Louise/blog-416606.html Today we spent some time in the town of Jasper walking on a path along the train tracks toward the station. Midday we left for Lake Louise which was about a 4 hour ride. Along the way we had a brief stop at the Columbia Icefield which was amazing and very cold. We also saw 4 adult bears and 2 baby bears which were right along the roadway at 3 different spots. Wow is really all you can say abo http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Canada/Alberta/Lake-Louise/blog-416292.html Drove for approx 5 6 hrs from Kelowna to Lake Louise. Stopped by some unknown lakes on the way for toilet break and photo op. So strange the lake looked like it's semi frozen. The edge is still water while the rest of the lake has a layer of frost on it. Continued on and finally arrived at Lake Louise Town at abt 5pm. Our Ms NeverGetLost brought us to the wrong HI Lake Louise which we pa http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Canada/Alberta/Lake-Louise/blog-412215.html I know that probably everyone has seen the pictures and surely some of you have been here but this is everthing I thought it would be and more. Jan we WILL come here and I promise I'll fly. I've often said that as much as I like photography NO photograph can match the awe of seeing places like this with your own eyes. How blown away am I Just know this any of you who know me have heard http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Canada/Alberta/Lake-Louise/blog-405461.html We woke to the sounds of rain and trains which incidentally are amazingly long here they have hundreds of carriages. They are impressive to look at but when you want a relaxing sleep in they donrsquot impress me much. Irsquom not sure whether Dad had too much cheese before bed or whether hersquod been listening to too many campfire stories about bears but when we got out of our tent he http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Canada/Alberta/Lake-Louise/blog-384381.html Over the last six months Irsquove been lucky enough to see some of the best mountain ranges in the world. The Swiss Alps with their chocolate box pretty villages the cactus friendly San Bernadino Mountains in California Whistler in British Colombia and of course not forgetting the Himalayas in China. The biggest and wildest range of mountains Irsquove ever had the privilege to visit. But I http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Canada/Alberta/Lake-Louise/blog-382329.html The Ice Magic Festial at Lake Louise is always worth a visit. http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Canada/Alberta/Lake-Louise/blog-368749.html A quick report as I sit in the car outside the youth hostel in Lake Louise. I'm using their wireless. Very cold but clear here. Was minus 42 yesterday but has warmed up to minus 20 today. The Family are skiing as I type except Silas who is working. Have some nice picture but will load them next time. The area is strikingly beautiful but as you can imagine the temperatures are an inconvenience. Ou http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Canada/Alberta/Lake-Louise/blog-354844.html Hi guys sorry for the lack of updates life here has been very hectic to say the leastSo first news is that the temp got to 38.4 degrees C this morning I can tell you that it feels cold. But it does wake you up first thing It was so cold that my hair froze solid in the 20 secconds it took me to get from my room to the bus.Lake Louise is amazing I can't belive that i've been here for 6 week http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Canada/Alberta/Lake-Louise/blog-354604.html Hey guys Sorry for the lack of bloggs but the internet is still dodgy here and i am still trying to get a wireless card for my laptopWe have about 4 inches of snow lying arround in the village at the moment and apparently were in for a storm later this week fingers crossedSo the hill opened last sat the 8th of Nov and i have been on skis every day since then i think its 11 days in a row t http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Canada/Alberta/Lake-Louise/blog-346588.html Hi guys I'm so sorry its taken me so long to write a post The internet has been down for the last few days. So i've been in Lake Louise for a week now and have had 6 days work already. The hill looks awsome but there is no snow really at the moment. There is one run which is about 20m wide and that's what were opening with tomorrow.So i'm working in the ski tech shop with 4 other guys. http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Canada/Alberta/Lake-Louise/blog-342677.html We have just recently returned from Eiffel Lake and the Valley of The Ten Peaks. Now is the time to visit. The larch trees are spectacular and there are few tourists around right now. Valley of the Ten Peaks is relatively easy to get to. From Banff head towards Lake Louise on Highway 1. Before you get to Lake Louise take the Moraine Lake turn. After 14km you will arrive at Moraine Lake. To get to http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Canada/Alberta/Lake-Louise/blog-331673.html Oh I love this place.Have so many pictures of just the snow line. http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Canada/Alberta/Lake-Louise/blog-329529.html We woke up in the morning and packed up our camp after multiple days in the same campground in Jasper NP. We did a canyon hike in Maligne canyone and then drove the entire icefield parkway down into Lake Louise in Banff NP. On the way to Maligne canyon we passed multiple elk and sheep but still no bear sitings grizzleys or black bears. The rivers are shallow so we were expecting to see bea http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Canada/Alberta/Lake-Louise/blog-321806.html Day 3 June 30 2008 Made it to Lake LouiseI broke camp this morning at 0530. Not because I needed to be up at that hour but because I was slept outhelliplots of fresh air causes a person to sleep very good and I have been sleeping extremely well.The routine is getting down but I always want to expect the unexpected. Like tonight I am at the Lake Louise National Park and started to set up ca http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Canada/Alberta/Lake-Louise/blog-294209.html So the travel blog finally begins again.. Irsquom on the Greyhound about to leave for Lake LouiseI had the worst nightrsquos sleep last night. It was 30 degrees yesterday and last night seemed about the same so so hot in the hostel room. We had the air con on but I think once there are three people sleeping in a small room therersquos not much you can do to keep the heat at bay.
