Driving the Rockies 2 Icefields to Lake Louise

We only had a short drive of about 80 km today but had a lot to see along the way. We had more postcard scenery and some fabulous stops.
Our first walk was to Mistaya Canyon. It Was light rain but still wonderful scenery as the water had carved a narrow path deep into the bedrock.
We also walked up to Peyto Lake up a steep path. There was snow on each side of the track and still drizzling rain.This is one of the most scenic views we have ever had.We are short of superlatives to do it justice! We can only imagine what it would be like in bright sunshine.

                                                   Looking down towards the canyon
On the way up the hill from the canyon we came across this little squirrel having a feed before winter


                                               Peyto Lake looked a lot better than this photo!
We visited glaciers, waterfalls lakes and creeks but finally arrived at Lake Louise. It lived up to its reputation but it was still raining.

                                           Braving the rain in front of The Fairmont Chateau
                            Covered in mist is a wonderful area of snow and mountain ridges
                                   A selfie from our room. We had the view without the rain
                                                      Yes we are having a good time
