 Located
in the province of Alberta, Lake Louise, with its blue-green water
set against the stark backdrop of Victoria Glacier, is probably the most
beloved and most often photographed scene in the Canadian Rockies! An
exploration of the area allows you to witness signature panoramas of Banff
National Park, where even the stately Chateau Lake Louise (in the photo
at right) is dwarfed by nature.
There are trails for walking, skiing and horseback riding. Interpretive
displays, fine dining at local hotels and heritage railway station, and
short drives to Moraine Lake and across the Great Divide await. Lower
Village of Lake Louise: The lower village of Lake Louise is south of the
Trans-Canada Highway in the Bow River valley. Next to the Samson Mall,
on the right as you enter the village, is the Lake Louise Visitor Center,
featuring exhibits on the human and natural history of the area. The center
provides current information on trails and interpretive programs. |
