The perfect "last desert"
Lake Louise - actually the water is the same coloras in the picture below.
The blue of Lake MoraineThursday, July 16
The drive down the Ice Fields Highway from Jasper National Park to Lake Louise takes much longer that you might expect because it is hard not to keep pulling off the road to take pictures. The scenery continues to astound. I know that it may seem that I have photo after photo of mountains and glaciers but I can’t stop. I just wish that the photos could capture the beauty of the colors in the rock formations.
After getting settled in Lake Louise’ RV Park we went out to explore Lake Moraine and Lake Louise. These are real Jewels, aqua in color and surrounded by granite peaks.
We could not have chosen a better place for our last dinner together. Planning where to eat has never been a high priority for us and we just wanted to poke our heads into the Chateau Lake Louise. The original Chateau was built in the 1890’s and has been redesigned a number of times to accommodate the increasing number of travelers to the area. We decided to have a drink overlooking the lake and that turned into a perfect dinner of bisque, smoked duck salad with snow peas and asparagus and wonderful crisp apple strudel with sour cream ice cream.
A perfect ending!
Actually, then we went back “home” and played dominoes until after 11:00
