Lake Louise

Lake Louise is a glacial lake in Banff National Park, 5 km west of the village of Lake Louise, named after Princess Louise Caroline Alberta, a daughter of Queen Victoria. Rock flour in meltwater from the glaciers above gives the water its turquoise colour. The Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise stands on the eastern shore, and trails lead along the lake and up to Lake Agnes.
