You arrive before dawn, the highway carving a silver ribbon through pines as glaciers hang on distant ridgelines. The air on the shoulder of the Rockies is thin and cold; the first view of Lake Louise opens like a drama — turquoise water framed by serrated peaks and a glacier-fed chill that dares you to step closer.
