[QUOTE="bikerskier, post: 1359908, member: 1427"] It was my good fortune to ski patrol, hike, climb and explore the Rockies for many years. Some of the bars in Jasper and Banff have drinks named after me. My all time favorite spot is Lake O'Hara just off Hwy 1, a few miles west of Lake Louise. It is a 5-6 mile hike into the Lake or reserve a seat early on a parks bus which would give more time at the lake, the falls and surrounding high valleys. It is SPECTACULAR. Stay overnight if you can. Lake Louise itself has become a jam packed nightmare of Asian tour buses, so go very early and perhaps hike along the north shore of the lake a couple of miles. Banff will be very busy. Many drop dead views along the Banff-Jasper Highway, including the Columbia Icefields which have receded enormously since my days of climbing the icefields into Snowdome and Mt Athabasca. Pretty hard to get very far up nowadays without taking a damn snow cat contraption for $. Many superb falls that you need to park and walk a short distance along the trails to view. I try to return every few years to re visit some of my favorites and will never tire of the beauty. Have a terrific time! [/QUOTE]
