I love the scene. Breath taking. To see is to believe. It is really amazing how God made all of this for us to appreciate the world. more

This was an awesome trail ride. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. You can hike to Agnes Teahouse by foot, but it's exhausting (3.5 kilometers, or 2 miles uphill; it takes about 2 hours to get to the top). The stable offers sleigh rides, trail rides, and overnight horse trips. They are available winter and summer. The stable is... more

We stopped by Lake Louise for a quick visit on a Saturday in July. It was such a beautiful spot that we decided to linger and rent canoes. This was the highlight of our two week Idaho/BC/Alberta trip: sitting in the middle of the lake and viewing the high peaks with glaciers on top, the nearby mountain plunging sharply into... more

Whilst Lake Louise did not have the WOW factor that Moraine Lake has from the rockpile it was still a absolutely magnificent sight. The walk down to the bottom of the lake is a must to get some great photos. more

Lake Louise sits in a beautiful location surrounded on three sides by mountains and on the fourth by the Chateau Lake Louise. There is an excellent path along one side of the lake which is suitable for people of all abilities and further walks start from this path for the more adventurous. We had lunch in the Chateau, which was... more

It is a very busy place, so arrive early(before 11a) or late (after 5p) to find parking which is somewhat inadequate for the many who come. This location has been on my list of top 3 things to do before I die for years, and it did not disappoint! It is an over whelmingly beautiful site! Pictures do not do... more

If you can get past the "rush hour traffic", pedestrian and vehicular, around the Chateau and its parking lot, you are in for a spectacular treat! Take the trail to the end of the lake, about 1.5 kms, and watch rock climbers scale the steep cliffs that hug the end of the lake. Look back across the lake upon the... more
