Lake Louise and Lake Moraine

 September 10th, 2024 We had a beautiful day today. We started from the train station at Banff. We had booked a transit for Lake Louise and Lake Moraine. We left at 10:00 arriving at Lake Louise for 2.5 hours then on to Moraine.  At Lake Louise, we hiked the lakeshore walk. I say hike but it really was a "promanade" along the lake.  We then had lunch at Louisa cafe at the Fairmont Hotel. We had a lovely lunch! Salmon kabobs and an arugula salad.  The water was absolutely gorgeous as were the surrounding Rocky Mountains. Here are some pictures: Lake Louise Glacier from our restaurant table Lake Louise outside venue for lunch.  Lake Louise trail From there, we headed to Lake Moraine. It was also incredibly beautiful. There we did the same thing. We walked along the waterway and also captured beautiful shots. Here are some pictures:  Lake Moraine
