Columbia Ice Fields and Lake Louise

 Columbia Ice Fields  and Lake Louise   September 3rd

Our drive from Jasper to Lake Louise was exceptional! We drove down what is called the Ice Fields Highway. The Columbia Ice Fields are a sight to behold.  The route is truly a beautiful drive with glaciated craggy mountains along both sides of the highway.




 At the Visitor Center, you could take a bus out to the Athabasca Glacier and walk on it if you wanted to. Accessible to all who pass by..just wonderful to see.

 We also stopped at the various scenic overviews such as the Sunwapta Falls and the Athabasca Falls.

We arrived in Lake Louise late in the afternoon of September 2nd but decided to tour the two lakes..Lake Louise and Moraine Lakes that evening and head down to Banff early in the morning.
