Welcome to Banff National Park Day 1 and 2 post 2 out of 2

DAY 2 at Banff National Park: The First Canadian National Park

On my second day of exploration, I explored Lake Morine and Lake Louise. Lake Louise. On the bank of Lake Louise, I can see the snow capped mountains. On the left side of the lake has less trees than on the right side. On the bank of the Lake is the Fermont Hotel and Restaurant. The Restaurant has good prices and it has a  good view of the mountains. After I ate lunch, I rented a canoe to go sightseeing on the lake. The Lake has a clear, greenish-blue color. It looks very refreshing and comforting. The best part of the lake is that I can canoe and hike. Canoeing gives me one perspective of the lake, while hiking gives me another. Even though the trail to the overlook tower is approxiamately two kilometers, it is worth the walk. There is a steep incline that may be challenging for some of the older folks. Remember if you want to canoe to the end of the lake, make sure to buy the two hour package. You cannot make the whole thing in one hour without going to overtime. The mountain and the hotel make a great photographic moment. Remember to bring your camera.

If you really love hiking, then you should hike to the tea house which is about 4 kilometers away from the bottom.

At night, there is a mall where they shave the best restaurant in town. After dinner, I took a walk behind the mall. There is a bridge where you can take photogrpahs of the mountain and the flowing water. The water flows from Lake Lousie.

Tomorrow I will wake up nice and early to get a good photograph of Lake Lousie at Dawn for that is one of the best times to take pictures.
