Winter Wonderland

Went to my niece's wedding in the Canadian Rockies. Whew. Calgary is a great city. Leaving there, headed west to Banff. Awsome. I had been before, but it is still breathtaking, the Canadian Rockies. When you see it from Alberta side, you know why the call them the ROCKies. Continue to Lake Louise, and it is even more spectacular. So you drive some more on the TCH, and you cross the border into B.C. Then you hit this little railroad town called Field (pop. 200) in the Yoho National park. Or so the tell me. If you are not paying attention, you will miss the turn on your right. Then about 8 kilometeres in, you hit Emerald Lake Lodge. Ahhhmazing. Most of the site photo's are summer, but when we were there, last week, it was a winter wonderland. Like this:

This is a restaurant at the resort. And that is the lake in front of the building. The cabins are a short walk up the road, behind the trees. If I get the urge, I may publish more. Click the links above and enjoy the view.
