Lake Louise

Sketching at The Chateau Lake Louise

Lake Louise
August 27, 2013
I met a woman from Connecticut traveling by herself.  She mentioned she was disappointed in Lake Louise.  Another couple from London also mentioned their disappointment.  I had to find out for myself so I set off early.

I set out from Lake Louise Campground and arrive  at 9 a.m. There is plenty of parking.                       

 The Chateau Lake Louise
I explore the hotel and check out where I will have lunch.

Many flowers at the Chateau.

I walked the lakeside trail with turquoise water and beautiful reflections.

 I find this desk over-looking the Lake in a deserted spot at Hotel.  I call this luxury sketching!

I go to the fancy bar restaurant at the Chateau for lunch at 11:30 a.m.  I tell the hostess "Table for One".
She leads me to one of the best tables in the restaurant.  I think this calls for a glass of wine!

My lobster and shrimp salad on a croissant with asparagus is delicious!  I feel like Princess Louise.
Lake Louise is named for Princess Louise, the fourth daughter of Queen Victoria.

Lake Louise is Grand! It did not Disappoint 

ME!

It was a special day!

 Can one take too many photographs???

Hiking along Lake Louise is beautiful.
