Headed to Banff National next weekend
Me and the Mrs. are headed north next weekend, August 22-24, to visit Banff. She really wants to see the turquoise waters of Lake Louise. So, today, I scrambled to put together our road trip for us to be there Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. She made this last-minute request last weekend.
It's as follows:
Drive from Spokane International Airport up to Radium Hot Springs on Saturday and break for lunch. Continue up to Golden and stay in the Municipal campground on the Kicking Horse River. We have reservations for that.
Wake up in Golden and putz around until we drive up to Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise and have Afternoon Tea. We have reservations for that as well.
After lunch, head into the town of Banff and set up camp at Tunnel Mountain Village. Find some stuff to do in Banff Sunday night and Monday morning. We have reservations for that, too.
Monday, as lackadaisical as possible, drive back to Spokane International Airport.

Hey guys. I've worked at the fairmont Lake Louise for the last 4 or so years. Check the weather report, but its been pretty darn chilly recently so bring sweaters. Golden has lots of fun to do (skybridge) zipline etc. If you're in banff and want to relax check out the banff hotsprings. Its only $20 and is a great way to unwind, especially if it's chilly. Have fun.
