What's there to see in Lake Louise?
How far away are the Columbia Ice Fields from Banff/Lake Louise?
If anyone can answer these questions, that would be great.

Other things to see in Banff:
The lake accross the highway - lots of sheep if they like wildlife.
Good food if they like that.
Free driving range at the springs golf course.
Walk down the river
Hiking (maybe a little old)
The tourist Centre on Main street also has lots of great suggestions for activities.
Sunshine Village is great for easy hiking in the alpine plains - you can take the gondola up I think, or maybe the road?
Don't know much about Lake Lousie though, was always a sunshine boy.
Ice fields are about 2 hours give or take, and the route from Banff goes through Lake Louise if they wanted to see both in a day. It is very doable. There are also 3 or 4 very pretty lakes along the icefields parkway between lake louise and the ice fields. It is also a fairly quiet highway, especially on weekdays.
