May 27: Lake Village back to Golden

We returned to the Lake Louise visitor center to look at the displays.  There was much geological history information, but we liked the stuffed animals best





The Bow River flows through Lake Louise Village.  We had driven down the Bow River yesterday.




Lunch at Lake Louise Village included poutine, a dish of fries with cheese and gravy popular in Canada. We will see some restaurants with the poutine enhanced several different ways, typically with meat.


The weather was overcast and rainy (socked in) so rather than try to see this glacial lake, we decided to have lunch and head back to Golden Municipal Park.  This campground had WIFI, which Louise did not, and it had better showers.  We basically figured it a better place to spend the rest of a rainy day and night than Louise Campground.

Before we got back to Golden we stopped at Faeder Lake, which is uniquely clear greenish-blue.
