The weather is unusually glorious, according to a lifeguard at Moraine Lake, particularly as it's a holiday weekend. In May it was 5ft deep snow; today it glistened in the sun on the mountain tops.
First we went to Lake Louise which was stunning. Full of visitors but we escaped them and walked away from the main drag, by the water. It's the most unusual colour: not green, not blue, not silver or grey. It's because the glaciers coming into the lake churn up and ground down the rocks at the bottom of the lake, producing what's called rock flour which makes it this strange cloudy colour.
