Description
A couple of canoes traverse beautiful Lake Louise in Banff National Park in Alberta, Canada.
*************
Lake Louise is fed by glacial runoff from Victoria Glacier. Like many of the lakes in the Rockies the water is either deep green or blue. This is caused by fine sediments called "rock flour" floating in the water. Rock flour is fine powdery rock that has been crushed and ground by a glacier.
***********
Victoria Glacier is perched behind and above Lake Louise. Over a mile above sea level and only 35 miles from Banff the area is blessed with majesty and glorious hiking trails. Consider a hike to the teahouse where your efforts will be rewarded with soup, tea, coffee or pastries. The views along the way make the uphill hike well worth it although the hike is not recommended for those in poor physical condition. The waterfall and lake at the summit are pretty and serene. Bears may be in the area.
**********
Chateau Lake Louise is the premier hotel in the area, with this spectacular view from its lake-facing windows and grounds. It's not inexpensive to stay here, but well worth the proximity to the lake and hiking areas.
