The Canadian Rockies are a jewel that a lot of people in the United States don’t even know about. Picture unbelievable mountains, tons of wildlife and quaint towns that aren’t constantly overflowing with tourists and you’ll have an idea of what parts of British Columbia and Alberta are like. Through in some world class skiing and winter outdoor activities and you can imagine why I am so bullish on the place.
One spot that is a must-see for anyone traveling in the Canadian Rockies is Lake Louise. Situated about an hour away from Banff, the crystal clear aquamarine lake is surrounded by mountains and breathtaking scenery. Of course, the lake is frozen during the winter months and it often doesn’t thaw until June, but that doesn’t make it any less beautiful.
Lake Louise also happens to be located right near a ski resort and one of those quaint towns with activities for the whole family. This winter if you stay at The Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise for three nights, you’ll get a fourth night for free. With the US dollar not as strong against the Canadian dollar as it used to be, every bit of savings can help.
