Let me give people some context about how ridiculous this image is to a local, using our old friend, Google Maps. This is Lake Louise. It's a 2 hour drive from the third busiest international airport in the country.

It's easy to drive this highway, it's 4 lanes with a wide median and kept clear all year. It goes right past the lake. 10 minute drive from the highway exit ramp.

Parking can be tricky because it gets really busy, but in winter there should be quite a few empty spaces.

A two-minute walk takes you to the lake.

There is a huge hotel built here, and the trails around the lake are paved and wheel-chair accessible.

There is no reason she couldn't have at least visited some mountains before going, even to just take this picture in real life. It's a loving embarrassment. Not that the Lake Louise shoreline would have done her any good with acclimatizing to high elevations, it's only 5700' above sea level.
