A triangular route heading first to Lake Lousie, Golden and then down to Fairmont and then back directly from Radium is an excellent drive.
Would this be a one-day trip? I'm also looking at the area for next summer.
Thanks.
I grew up in the Windermere Valley ( Windermere, Fairmont, Radium, etc. ) many years ago. My wife and I visited the area a few years ago and did the triangular route. Yes, it is quite doable for a day trip and definitely worth it. If you leave fairly early in the morning, you will have plenty of time to stop and see the sights.
John, thanks for the first-hand knowledge.
II offered me a 2 bedroom exchange in Fernie (Timberline Lodges-Juniper) which I turned down. Did I make a mistake? It appeared to be just a little bit too far for the day trips we want to do up to Jasper, Lake Louise, etc. Also, the size of the unit was 852 sq. ft. and we are used to our Marriott which is over 1300 sq. ft. (I know we're spoiled). If it was just me and my husband, I think I would have taken it, but we're going to have another couple with us and the 2nd bedroom had 2 twin beds (ugh).
