That looks like a beautiful place, winter or summer.
I haven't traveled much, but those pics look as nice as any of places you see in the movies in Europe. New location to write into my bucket list
I probably drive past LL 25 times a year. It's halfway between where I live and my lake place. I only remember stopping there once, just had to see what the huge attraction was. In the summer months you would have to park about 5 miles away and take a bus because there is very little parking at the townsite. The signage around town is bi or trilingual, English, Japanese and Chinese! It is beautiful but not quite sure why it's so popular as there are hundreds of other places throughout the Rockies that are just as spectacular.
Our Canadian friends took us to all the spots. They have vacation places in Canmore and LakeWaskesiu
Have to agree it was crazy crowded at LL during the summer. It was still cool to see it and the glacier.
We enjoyed the gondola ride up Sunshine Mtn. Even our friends were amazed at the lakes at the top.
They don't see them in the winter months
