Of course we will visit area and drive up to Lake Louise which I know will be frozen.
We visited William Van Horne’s summer residence near St Andrews NB last summer where we got caught up on his vision for the Rockies and promoting the area to the world.
There is a ton of history there. If the story of the railroad and Van Horne interests you, definitely take the hotel historical tour while you're there. I would also drive out to the Spiral Tunnels during your visit.
Have you considered booking a couple of nights up at the Chateau Lake Louise? Don't let the frozen lake deter you. It's beautiful any time of year, and there's a lot of history there too.
