A winter wonderland at Baker Creek Resort, Lake Louise. Solstice, 2021. If you go:
- bring a book, sitting by the crackling fire with a good read is simply glorious
- plan a digital detox, they have WiFi now but it’s poor and why would you want to look at your phone?
- go for walks in the evening! The snow glows and the stars are easy to see
- bring skates, there is a small ice surface
