Anne and I only spent one day at the magnificent emerald waters of Lake Louise, set against the stark backdrop of Victoria Glacier.
Located in the centre of Albertas Rockies, Lake Louise is a beautiful and relatively unspoiled mountain getaway offering excellent scenery, hiking, canoeing, wildlife and the chance to kick back and recharge your batteries in an area that offers unparalleled beauty.
Mt. Victoria rises to 3464 m on the other side of the lake and Victoria Glacier dominates the scene. To the left the view encompasses Fairview Mountain, whose summit is at an elevation fo 2744 m, while the smaller Beehive limits the view on the right side of the lake. |
|  | Chateau Lake Louise Although we did not spend the might, Chateau Lake Louise offered us the opportunity to sit in the outdoor reataurant and enjoy lunch surrounded by the beauty of this mountain getaway. |
| | The must do "daggy tourist photo" This area received the name "Lake Louise" in honor of the wife of Queen Victoria's representative in Canada, Princess Louise Caroline Alberta. |
