In September, Lake Louise is quiet, its clear waters reflecting the snow-capped mountains, and its tranquility is filled with poetry.

You will not be disappointed here! We all shared a table and had pizza, wings, a green salad, and a Caesar salad. All were delicious and our waiter was great! I highly recommend this place!

🥘Leave Lake Louise at 13:00, return the same way, park in Lake Louise Village, and everyone disperse to find a place to eat. We have booked lunch at Grill &amp; Bar. The tour guide took us into the restaurant, found a seat, and quickly brought the food. I remember it was fast food similar to McDonald&#39;s and KFC🍔 (Figure 2).
🚸Walk around in the small village after lunch. Lake Louise Village is the core tourist community in Banff National Park. It is located on the banks of the Bow River, about 1,600 meters above sea level. In 1884, an outpost was set up here for Canada. It has a unique geographical advantage. In addition to being adjacent to Lake Louise, there are Moraine Lake, Emerald Lake, Natural Bridge, Icefield Parkway, Bow Lake, Peyto Lake and other attractions within a 30-minute drive, making it a tourist hub for glacial lake sightseeing and outdoor adventures. In addition to a large number of hotels, there are also ski resorts with more than 100 snow trails, suitable for skiers of all levels from beginners to professionals. In summer (June-September), this place is a paradise for hiking and summer heat relief; in winter (November-April), it becomes a holy place for skiing and ice and snow sports. (Pictures 3-4) 
🚌Leaving Louise Village and driving north for 3 kilometers, Highway 1 turns west and soon arrives at the Kicking Horse Pass. (Picture 5) Mount Bosworth (2771M above sea level) and Paget Peak (2553M above sea level) stand in the northwest, Mount Niblock (2976M above sea level) and Narao Peak (2974M above sea level) stand tall in the south. The four mountains are all made of limestone, and eroded by glaciers to form steep rock walls and sharp ridges (Pictures 1, 6, 7). This pass between four mountains is 1,627 meters above sea level. It is not only the boundary between Alberta and British Columbia, but also the crossing point of the North American Continental Divide. The rivers on the east side flow into the Atlantic water system, and the rivers on the west side flow into the Pacific water system. In 1858, when the Scottish geologist James Hector led an exploration team through this place, his mount was startled and kicked him in the chest, so the pass got its name.
🚂At the end of the 19th century, in order to connect the Rocky Mountains, connect British Columbia with the interior of Alberta, promote the economic development of the West, and fulfill the original promise of BC to join the federation - to build a transcontinental railway within ten years, the Pacific Railway became a key construction project in Canada. From the first spike driven in Bonfield, Ontario in 1881 to the last spike driven in Craigellachie, British Columbia on November 7, 1885, the railway was declared fully connected. This huge project, which spans 5,000 kilometers from east to west, was completed in just four years, which is comparable to today&#39;s &quot;infrastructure maniacs&quot;.
However, this also buried huge hidden dangers. In order to meet the construction deadline, in 1884, when the railway crossed the steep Kicking Horse Pass in the Rocky Mountains, it built the steepest railway line in the world at that time between Wapta Lake and the foot of Mt Stephen (Figure 8). The slope of this 8-mile (13-kilometer) railway line reached 4.5% (that is, 45 meters per kilometer of climbing), which greatly exceeded the maximum slope limit of 2.5% allowed for ordinary railways. As soon as the designers and operators took measures such as adding safety switches, strictly limiting the speed of trains, and building more powerful locomotives, however, disasters still occurred frequently, which was frustrating.
⚠️This situation seems familiar, except that the frightened horse that kicked people was replaced by a train that ran out of control and derailed. #Scenery on the Road #Banff National Park #Canadian Travel #Canadian Rockies #Historical and Cultural Tourism
