Literally a winter wonderland, Banff is the iconic mountain town. As soon as you walk out the front door of any hotel or restaurant on main st. you are surrounded by mountain peaks; it is like Jackson but if the Tetons were on top of the town of Jackson, like only a couple miles away. Chris braved the coldest weather he has ever experienced and me getting a thinner skin of living in Australia for the past 3 years, I was adapting back slowly with more layers than usual.
Road tripping with my cousin Amanda is and will always be a highlight of my life's journeys. Good times laughing, joking and playing around, wherever we are together, we have a blast. Unfortunately for us, Lake Louise, the iconic blue lake, was froze over and not even enough to skate on! It was still beautiful just not the expectation we had. We made the most of our off-season visit and went to Banff Hot springs for a couple soaks. (side note; they frown upon guests bringing in their own alcohol...) We checked out the 'castle on the hill' which was the Fairmont Hotel in Banff, what a massive place! But such a winter wonderland fairytale fortress. No skiing at Lake Louise this trip, but now knowing it was only a 6 hour drive from Spokane, I can say we will definitely go back there.
