Patricks son joined him for the evening walk. Finn is 14 and a charming young man, he demonstrated how to make yourself bigger if across a bear, he also showed the bear spray he always carries. At the moment the bears are sleeping but they will soon be waking from their winter slumber.
Lake Louise was first conceived by the railway at the end of the 19th century, as a vacation destination to lure moneyed travelers into taking trains and heading West. By the time airplanes and automobiles had displaced the trains, it had gained sufficient renown to have a life of its own. In 1999
We saw skaters on the lake and also hires drawn carriages taking people around the edge of the lake, but our guide was going to walk ON the lake, the snow was about 1 mtr thick with 100mtrs of water below.
Patrick walked approx 3 kilometres almost to the end of the lake where we saw a 300ft waterfall, like everything else it was frozen.
