Just got back from a few days at Lake Louise.
Didn't find the train noise that bad. Maybe I just got used to it.
There was a female Grizzly and 2 cubs in the area so some of the walking paths are closed and they are being real strict about the "bare campsite" rules. Nothing that has ever touch food can be left outside.
I see that they closed one side of a nearby lake from access as a bear trampled a tent (no one in it at the time).
Plus it is a bit hard to get away from the crowds. Have to be at Moraine by ~6am to get a parking spot and Lake Louise filled by 8:30 am. Even after a 3.4km hike uphill to the teahouse, the place was packed and the wait about 45 mins.
The ski hill wasn't so bad and saw a grizzly on the slopes.
They have three slots for dumping so there was no issue with that.
Have to say, I preferred Banff.
