On Day 5 of our trip, we went to the Rockies, Banff and Lake Louise. We took a bus that required reservations in the summer to the Rockies. The fee is only 10 dollars per person, but there is a note that I would mention at the end.
The bus takes you directly from Calgary downtown to Banff, and it took a little more than 1 hour.

Banff was busy during the summer despite it was in the middle of the pandemic. People were eager to get out for domestic travel. We were on the same boat.
We took another bus that took us from Banff to Lake Louise. I haven't been to Lake Louise for 20 years. The weather was awesome, and it was absolutely beautiful!

There is a trail for people to walk towards the other end of the lake. (I never had the chance to do it with tour groups.) This time, we walked the trail.

It takes only 20 minutes to walk to the other end.

| Canadian Rockies |
The mountains and the surrounding areas are beautiful. We did not have time to visit other lakes. We should do that next time.

On the way back, the bus company's bus broke down and we have to wait for another bus to come. The cheap bus company probably does not maintain their buses as well. We waited for the bus to go back to Calgary from 8pm to 10:25pm, and we did not get back to the hotel until almost 1 am at night.
If it weren't for the high cost of rental car, I would have kept my rental car for the entire trip.
