Road Trip from Vancouver to Alberta in 2020
Klaus and I visited Calgary in the summer of 2020. As we all remember, it was the Covid year. We weren’t allowed to travel abroad. So we decided to take a road trip through British Columbia to Calgary. There were good deals in Alberta for tourists from British Columbia. This prompted us to make the trip by car.
We planned to spend a few nights in Revelstoke and Lake Louise along the way.
Revelstoke was a pretty little village. I was impressed by the colorful flat-roof houses.
There are a lot of young people living in the area. It’s a dream to have fun outside. It’s a hiker’s paradise in the summer and one of the most popular ski resorts in BC in the winter.
This photo was taken on the hike up to the first tea house.
The next stop was Lake Louise. It was fabulous. we spent three nights at Château Lake Louise. I did not know about it. So it was a huge surprise. When we drove onto the grounds, I thought we are going to visit the bar and then retire to a hotel in the village. We always visit any Fairmont hotel bar. It’s a thing we do.
On two days we hiked up to a tea house. One hiking trail is almost entirely in the forest. Reaching the second teahouse was rather strenuous. The path led over stone paths and was also in the sun. After the hikes, we treated ourselves to a glass of cool Sauvignon Blanc on the hotel terrace and enjoyed the view of the lake. It was a dream.
