Banff Alberta is a tourist/ski town for most of the year but in the summer, visitors come form all over the world to view the mountains and to see Lake Louise - about 50 miles north of the town.
The view of the Rockies are without words and pictures do not do it justice.
This picture Steve took from our campsite at Banff. How is that for a backdrop.
We spent part of a day and drove to Lake Louise. I am not sure why this location has drawn so much attention. The lake is not very large. It was still frozen over when we were there.
I think the drawing point is that there is a very large old hotel there that was built when the railroad was built. It is a pretty location but we have seen many other areas in the Rockies just as post card pretty but without the hotel. So maybe all of those folks really come to see the hotel not the lake.
