Summary[edit]

Description

The Chateau Bell Captain assigned a Bell Man to take me to a beautiful Lake Louise Chateau room on the top 8th floor. It was a two story room with the bedroom on the second floor with an outside balcony. I had my Nikon P1000 DLSR camera with me. The bell man pointed out three buildings that were very difficult to see with the naked eye.

An outdoor lookout featured here was on the left side of Lake Louise a good distance from the balcony. It takes a hardy hiker to master the trail, especially in the winter months. The Fairview Lookout trail does have a few areas of grade to climb along the way, but it’s an easier option than the popular Lake Agnes Tea-house trail. Some people can find the tea house trail a bit strenuous due to the large amount of elevation gain over a such a short distance. From the Fairview Lookout you get a fantastic view overlooking the lake and back towards the Chateau Lake Louise hotel. You don’t actually get this view when climbing the tea house trail because there are too many trees in the way
 
My wife and I celebrated our 50th anniversary with a wonderful Rocky Mountaineer train trip from Vancouver to Lake Louise and back the week of May 5-11, 2019. We flew from Phoenix to Seattle, bused to the Pacific Central Station and Fairmont Waterfront hotel in Vancouver and then boarded the Rocky mountaineer train early the next morning. The mountains, sights, food and luxurious service all made for the most wonderful trip we ever made. The Lake Louise Chateau was especially elegant. We enjoyed the resort for a full day mid-week. We returned from Vancouver to Seattle on the Amtrak coastal route train.
