4. JUNE 25 Lake Louise, Moraine lake

 Our last day in Alberta, tomorrow we take the Rocky Mountaineer train to Vancouver. We hiked the Rockpile Trail to catch the best view of Moraine Lake this morning. Today we thoroughly enjoyed hanging around the Post Hotel here in Lake Louise - visited the village which is very small - and had one of the best meals any of us have ever had at The Post Hotel Restaurant.
