Lake Louise is an emerald lake at the base of the Victoria
glacier. It is magnificent! People from
around the world come to see the lake named after Queen Victoria’s daughter. The color of the lake results from the
glacial flour or silt, deposited as the glacier melts. We had a lovely walk along the shore of the
lake trying to capture all the different views with our cameras. It is a scene you must see in person!
This is the site of the Fairfield Lake Louise Chateau built
by the Canadian Pacific Railroad in 1890.
What began as a simple log cabin has developed into a grand luxury hotel
that hosts visitors from the railway as well as royalty and movie stars. Gardens surround the buildings and add to the awesome
view. Our lunch on the terrace was
greatly enhanced by the beauty surrounding us!
