Lake Louise Trailer Campground,
It started raining sometime during the night, but that did not stop us from sleeping until 9:30am. We wanted to get an early start, but since it was still raining and we had no idea how long it will continue, we took it easy.
Happily for us the weather improved and by the time we got to the
Today we drove up to the Lake Louise area, 60km, to visit the lesser known, or so we thought,
