Chateau Lake Louise from the Lake Agnes Trail |
Lake Louise in Banff National Park is perhaps one of the better known destinations in the Canadian Rockies. Many visitors come to Lake Louise on the train, 'The Pacific Orient Express' from Vancouver. The famous Chateau Lake Louise, built by the Canadian Railroad graces the shore of the emerald-hued lake. The lake changes color with the seasons, in the winter and spring it is a deep emerald green but in summer and fall it changes to a milky blue-green with all the glacial 'flour' or finely ground rock deposits from the melting glaciers.
We loved Lake Louise so much that for the 8 days we were in Banff National Park we camped 6 of those days in Lake Louise. We had all kinds of weather - from beautiful sunny days to rain to snow flurries and even 27 degrees Fahrenheit early one morning. But nothing stopped us from enjoying our time in Banff National Park.
