Just got back from a day of sightseeing and shopping....resting up before heading out again for dinner and then to the Banff Springs Hotel and Bow Falls. Thought I'd share a few pictures from the past day.
I think this one is obvious....lol
Just a snapshot of the chalets we stayed at.
Hey....here I am....outside the chalets! Can you see how windy it was at 8:30 this morning....brrrrr
This is pretty close to where we were staying up on Tunnel Mountain. These are the Hoodoos. See those peeks? They say they were formed from dissolving Limestone. I would have gotten closer BUT see that edge and drop...well I'm scared of heights...THAT was as close as I was getting to the cliff's edge....rofl
On our drive from Banff to Lake Louise, it was snowing pretty good and the clouds were really low but I was able to get a shot of this mountain....think it might be Castle Mountain.
Here we are at looking at Lake Louise....the most famous Glacial Lake in the Canadian Rockies...it's gorgeous in summer when you can see the turquoise colour...although it's beautiful it's somewhere you'd never swim! 
This is the shot from the otherside side of the bridge. I love how clear the water is up here!
I forgot to take my large lens for my camera today so I couldn't get a great shot of the Banff Springs Hotel but that's what you see in all those trees!
Here I am in front of one of the many trees inside Chateau Lake Louise.
Thanks for stopping by....hope you all are enjoying your weekend....we sure are!

Dawn, it's just beautiful. This is one place I've always dreamed of going and there you are, right in one of the most beautiful places in the world -- you lucky girl. I know it must just be fabulous.
Oh looks like so much fun! Is that the Douglas Fir? We used to love staying there when we lived in Alberta!
I love that place! Your chalet looks cool! Enjoy! Deb

Ohhh that looks so nice - Rob would love that! Hey - now that I have my own blog, I am no longer MichelleInBoise - I'm just Michelle. Don't get me confused with any other Michelles out there. Thanks for sharing - and love the picture effects!
Oh Dawn...it looks so great! I was just there a month ago! I can't believe how much more snow there is now! When we were there it was 15 degrees C!
Hope you had a wonderful time!
Oh I'm so jealous! My entire family flew to Banff (Canmore actually) to ski several of the local resorts and had such a wonderful time! We all flew from Oklahoma and Tennessee at the time and had a great get-together. Enjoy the rest of your trip!
