Lake Louise
Turquoise Alberta waters
Lake Louise is a glacial lake in Banff National Park in the Canadian Rockies, famous for its turquoise water and mountain backdrop.
The name also refers to the nearby village and ski resort.
We hiked around Lake Louise at sunrise.
The lake takes its name from Princess Louise Caroline Alberta, daughter of Queen Victoria.
