Lake Louise






We took the short drive to Lake Louise and were amazed at it’s beautiful. If only you didn’t need to share this beauty with sooooo many people. We walked the grounds of the Chateau Lake Louise striking lakeside and stuck our heads into the dinning room and marveled at the spectacular views from the windows. A great place to dine if you have a few hundred to drop for your meal. The lake is framed by mountains on 3 sides with the glacier covered Victoria at the end. The waters are the stunning color we first experienced in Europe, high in the Alps of Austria. The light turquoise color is a result of the finely ground glacier sand which is light enough to float and filters the light causing the unique color. Our next stop, Lake Moraine, higher up in the mountains, has a water color much deeper blue and changes dramatically with the sunlight.
