I made it to Lake Louise late yesterday afternoon. As I had done in Banff I wanted to take a hike today that would provide good views of Lake Louise and the surrounding mountains. In looking at the map of Banff NP and doing some reading on line I decided to do a hike just up from the lake. Although I knew it would probably be crowded from what I could see it looked like a great place to see the area….and it sure was!
