Lake Louise - An incredible destination

Lake Louise

The lake is just gorgeous!!! I know there are many beautiful lakes around here, but this one is…read moresimply iconic We decided to take the hike up to the Agnes teahouse and had some amazing views of this lake along the way. I do want to specifically mention a couple things regarding this hike as many people start off doing this from the Fairmont. It is 3.6 km or approximately 2.2 miles to the teahouse. The way out is completely uphill and you will gain an elevation of 1300 feet. It is a serious hike, I would highly recommend you have some hiking shoes on as you navigate potentially loose gravel, and slick rocks. You will also come up on mirror Lake. There are several areas along the way to stop and rest to sit on a rock or a log. There is a two story staircase as the final elevation to get to the teahouse. We arrived around 1 PM and they said the usual way to get tea and order treats is about an hour. There are pit toilets here as well, but there is no running water to the facilities so nothing else other than what you purchase. It is definitely a beautiful hike. It took us about 2 1/2 hours round-trip.

Very badly managed. Parking fill up by 6 AM. You are then sent to Ski resort parking only to learn…read morebus tickets are sold out. Private shuttle companies prey on tourists charging exuberant fees that go up every year. If you get lucky, you will find a spot in a dirt parking lot over a mile away. You'd have to pay $42 to park in the dirt and dust and walk on a road where there are no sidewalks and your option is to take a chance at getting hit by passing RVs and trucks or fall into the valley! Getting to the lake, we were greeted by high dusty wind followed by thunder and rain! Did I mention getting harassed by police on the way who ticketed us $400 for speeding when everyone else was passing us and going faster than us. The gov here will charge you for everything. The people look at you as an ATM machine and will overcharge you for everything from hotel stays to food. On top of that, you are not welcome and they treat you badly. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else!

Mark Unrau, owner of Rocky Mountain Photo Adventures, picked up my wife and I promptly at 4 a.m. at…read moreour hotel in Banff and drove us a few miles to a lake at the base of Mount Rundle. For approximately the next three hours, Mark patiently showed me how to best use my Nikon and walked me through how to shoot a good landscape photo. Although Mark obviously is a highly skilled expert, he was never patronizing. He was always personal and professional. I recommend him highly.

When I was going to be in Banff for a conference, I arranged two consecutive private morning…read moresunrise workshops with Mark Unrau, owner of Rocky Mountain Photo Adventures. Right from the start, I was impressed with Mark's communication-- prompt, professional, and friendly. He picked me up both mornings from my lodge at 5:30am and took me to THE most gorgeous spots. We didn't stay clumped up with the rest of the photographers, as he knows the best spots away from the others so you can really focus (and get unique shots). I'm a hobbyist photographer who knows the basics, but I came away with a new appreciation for taking time to properly compose an image, working with a variety of filters to manage morning light, and understanding the ins and outs of long exposure shooting. I've been on many photo workshops in the past, and oftentimes the teacher is distracted by their own camera and capturing their own images while also trying to teach. This is NOT Mark. He does not bring out his camera (although he has ALL the equipment you could ever need) and gives you his 100% undivided attention. Mark is a truly gifted and passionate teacher who takes the time to learn about his student and their level of expertise, meets them where they are, and then extends their skills to improve their photography far beyond what I could have imagined. He's also an all around nice guy, who remains available to you after the workshop for questions, follow-up etc. I truly enjoyed my time with him and couldn't recommend him highly enough. Oh, and the shots I captured were truly breathtaking-- Thanks Mark!

Super fun trip! We went on the 20 min tour and were lucky enough to be the only people on our…read moreflight. Since we were a party of 2, we could sit in the front seats which usually requires an additional charge to guarantee those seats. The flight was super smooth and we loved being the co-pilot and see the glaciers from high above. Unfortunately there was a good amount of smoke coming from wildfires up north which led to somewhat poor visibility but we would highly recommend this to anyone. We'll definitely be back to a longer ride the next time we're in the rockies!

For our family vacation in Banff, ten of us took a helicopter ride. It was the first for all of us…read morebut my mom in particular was nervous about it. Naturally, we put her in the co-pilot's seat. Mom is my co-pilot. And she absolutely loved it. We all did! There were some tummy flipping dips as we rode the currents between mountains, but we were in very capable hands with our pilots. I wouldn't say I'm a religious person, but I now understand what they mean by "God's country". Flying around the sun drenched peaks of the Canadian Rockies will make anyone believe in heaven. We saw azure blue mountain lakes, sprawling rivers and miles of blue peaked mountains. It was awe inspiring. After about 20 minutes of flying, our pilots gently touched down next to a mountain stream and led us upstream on a little hike to a beautiful waterfall. Then, just when things couldn't get better, they whipped out the CHAMPAGNE. In real GLASS glasses, which is waaaay better than the plastic ones I take to picnics. We explored the area and chatted with our very interesting and friendly pilots for over an hour. And of course, after several glasses of champs, my sis and I needed to hike to the top of the falls for topless Little Mermaid pix. To say everyone was happy would be an under(wear)statement. All of it was just glorious and I would highly recommend this to anyone! My mom is 80+ and had no problem with the ride or the hike. Just FYI, they do weigh everyone before flight. Our groups were both "a little" over the weight limit. Everything's bigger in Texas! But the pilots oked us to fly. I helpfully suggested if we needed to lighten our load, we should throw out my nephew before we lose the champagne. A girl's gotta have priorities!
