Lake Louise

Breakfast was outside looking over the valley. Horse floats passed our house traveling along the dusty road to somewhere. Squirrels sat on the fence, a woodpecker invisibly pecked away. We chomped on muesli and fruit and woke up with numerous cups of tea. And then off to Lake Louise. Google wasn't right, it took more than the 90 minutes promised. We parked in a lower car park and walked  a couple of k's to the  chateau. Lots of photo opportunities. We had heard about the walk to the tea house and chose the one at the valley of the six glaciers.  Took a couple of hours to walk the five k's. Up the valley between extinct glaciers, along a fast flowing river to the tea house. We heard the rumbling of glaciers calving, had tea and food and wandered back down for a drink at the chateau.  The sky turned smoky again as we turned towards our cabin and towards another red sun setting over the Rockies. A great day. One to remember.
