Sounds like a great trip. I haven't stayed at those Fairmonts, but we usually stop for lunch at the Fairmont Lake Louise on our way through. The story of the hotels is interesting, how the Canadian Pacific (CP) railway built destination hotels all those years ago.

We were by there this past summer, with four friends from Sutton Coldfield in the UK. There were 7 of us, so we rented a Navigator for the week and left the X at home. Everytime I go through the parks there, I am amazed all over again at the scenery. Our visitors were blown away, they had never been to Canada, let alone through the Rockies. From Vancouver, we stayed in Jasper, Banff, and Radium, before going down through the Okanagan for the wineries.

Come back soon, we appreciate those tourist dollars!
