It’s a good idea to plan your time properly if you’re sightseeing with a limited schedule – and for me, I divided my trip. Day one was spent in the big ski areas, like Banff and Lake Louise, and later in the week, I had a “LAKE ONLY” day. My stops included Spray Lake, Two Jack lakeside and Lake Minnewanka in Alberta.
Touring these three stops actually took a good chunk of my day. But they are beautiful. Bring a wide lens. I was a bit of a goof, and didn’t have a prime wide. I only had my GOPRO and my 35 mm. What can I say? I like to pack light!
This is Spray Lake reservoir, including an image from my drive up the mountain. The reservoir is located in Kananaskis County. According to the Atlas of Alberta Lakes, “Until Kananaskis Country was established in the 1970s, the only road up to Spray Lakes Reservoir was a narrow, rough track clinging to the side of Mount Rundle.”
From there, I headed to Two Jack lakeside. Another beautiful must-see sight, in my opinion.
And perhaps my most favourite lake during this day trip, Lake Minnewanka (“Water of Spirits”) – which is right beside Two Jack lakeside. Isn’t it perfection?!
