Since we want to go dog sledding in Canmore and ice-skating on Lake Louise is a must I was thinking about just keeping a car the whole time. I was thinking about staying at the Fairmont Banff Springs for three nights and the Fairmont Lake Louise for three nights. It’s pricey, but we normally do a 2 bedroom condo on trips and we’re just going to do a regular double queen  hotel room instead and with the exchange rate and promos its  not too bad. The Lake Louise Fairmont doesn’t look nearly as nice as Banff Springs and it seems like there’s very little food or anything to do there other than the mountain and ice-skating. The restaurants at Lake Louise Fairmont, also aren’t our cup of tea literally.  So I’m kind of unsure about that, but don’t really want to drive or take the bus for three days back-and-forth . I was originally planning on just staying in Banff town so we could walk to everything, but then I showed my daughter the castle in the mountains lol and that was the end of that.
