Couldn't go to Banff without seeing some of the more famous lakes.
First to Lake Moraine which is the lesser known of the 2 but supposed to be the bluer. Sadly the sun wasn't shining but you could still see the colour if you hiked along the lake
Not too blue at this point but look at the reflections
At the far end of the lake there were some great glacier views
Starting to see some of the famous blue
Full length of the lake. Imagine how blue it would have looked in sunshine! Some mad people even took boats out in the cold and rain
And so on to Lake Louise – the most famous one.
Taking a small rest just before we start out third and final hike for the day
Looking back at the length of the lake. The Fairmont hotel is not for those without a good sense of direction as it is so big you would get lost
Still amazing rocks all around
The river joins the lake at the far end and brings in the famous colour
Had to prove we really did all this hiking so us at the far end
