On a sunny day, Lake Louise&#8217;s famous turquoise waters can be every bit as vibrant as the photos suggest. The colour comes from glacial rock particles suspended in the water. In winter, the lake usually freezes from late November until May, creating a spectacular snow-covered landscape beneath the Rocky Mountains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"600\" data-id=\"12258\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Canada-banner-mob.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12258\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Canada-banner-mob.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Canada-banner-mob-300x234.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"769\" height=\"600\" data-id=\"12251\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Los-Angeles-banner-mob.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12251\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Los-Angeles-banner-mob.jpg 769w, https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Los-Angeles-banner-mob-300x234.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 769px) 100vw, 769px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"600\" data-id=\"12256\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Quebec-City-banner-mob.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12256\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Quebec-City-banner-mob.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Quebec-City-banner-mob-300x234.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Is the Rocky Mountaineer worth upgrading to GoldLeaf?<\/strong><br \/>For many travellers, GoldLeaf is the ultimate Rocky Mountaineer experience. Its bi-level glass-domed coaches, elevated viewing position, exclusive outdoor viewing platform and \u00e0 la carte dining room create a more immersive journey through the Canadian Rockies. That said, SilverLeaf still offers excellent sightseeing through oversized windows, with meals and drinks included and served at your seat.

In the USA, be sure to sample regional favourites such as barbecue in the South, clam chowder in New England, jambalaya in Louisiana, Mexican-inspired cuisine in the Southwest, California seafood and San Francisco sourdough bread. In Canada, don&#8217;t miss poutine, maple syrup treats, Atlantic lobster, Pacific salmon, Alberta beef and traditional French-Canadian dishes such as tourti\u00e8re.
