Lake Louise is a stunning glacial lake located within Banff National Park in Alberta, Canada. Named after Princess Louise, Duchess of Argyll, it is renowned for its turquoise waters, which are fed by the surrounding glaciers. The lake is situated about 55 km west of Banff on the Trans-Canada Highway.

Here are some highlights about Lake Louise:

Scenic Beauty: The lake is surrounded by towering mountain peaks and the iconic Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise. The vibrant blue color of the water is due to rock flour carried into the lake by melt-water from the glaciers.

Activities: Visitors can enjoy a variety of activities such as hiking, canoeing, and in the winter, ice skating and skiing at the nearby Lake Louise Ski Resort.

Accessibility: Due to its popularity, parking can be challenging, especially during peak seasons. It’s recommended to use Parks Canada shuttles or Roam Public Transit to visit the lake.

Hiking Trails: There are numerous hiking trails around Lake Louise, offering breathtaking views. Popular trails include the Lake Agnes Tea House hike and the Plain of Six Glaciers trail.

If you’re planning a visit, it’s a good idea to book your shuttle tickets in advance and check for any updates on traffic or construction in the area.
