Even though the temperature didn't manage to get above 33F/1C for our entire stay and the lakes were frozen, that didn't stop us from hiking!
I can't imagine how cold it must have been for waterfalls to freeze ...
This is a frozen Lake Louise with our Chateau in the back ground :)
And finally on our 3rd day we saw the infamous Elk! We were starting to think the Canadians had made them up as a tourist trap.
And if there is a hike that goes straight up a mountain then we will do it! This is the top of "Tunnel Mountain" in Banff - and yes we went as far up as we possibly could.
And it was worth it - the views were amazing. Everywhere we looked we were in awe.Now we have to go back in summer so we can do all of the hikes and proper winter for my snow shoeing!
