Lake Louise must be one of the most beautiful lakes we've ever seen! It has such spectacular views that is just unbelievable! The mountains reflecting off the water is such a gorgeous sight. You can just sit here for hours and just Marvel and how Mother Nature Made this beautiful picturesque landscape! This is definitely a must-see if you are in the area!
This lake is beautiful… it has a beautiful shape with the beautiful mountains 🏔️ to see…. I heard that one Japanese guys also made a song for this lake too… I also heard this song inside the bus by the radio… while I was going to this Louis Lake… the lake’s water was also totally, hardly frozen, so I could also walk the way towards the right end most part of the lake too…. I wish I could also come to the Louis Lake in the Summer season too…. someday for sure… I think Louis lake is beautiful…. and it is totally worth it for people to visit in Summer and Winter…. The Louis lake is also in the westernmost side of state of Alberta, right next to the border of the BC (British Columbia) state…. which is also becoming a “welcoming” sigh for people who are visiting, or entering the state of Alberta from other places….
Beautiful views when we went this past August, with the fireweeds (the pink flowers) and iconic turquoise water. Recommend going up to the Beehive Hikes if you have time and energy, but even just the view at the lakeside is still very beautiful! The bus shuttle system was fair but difficult to book, so make sure to book in advance and get there early!
Visiting Lake Louise for the first time and you get mesmerized by the natural beauty of this exceptionally lovely lake. Crowded most of the time but still you can manage to captivate its beauty. It's truly a wonder nestled between the huge mountains.
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous view… Did we say gorgeous? Everything you read or hear about Lake Louise is true. This place should be on your short list of must do’s. Similar to many areas in Switzerland, the water is so incredibly blue at Lake Louise. Seeing is believing of just how pristine the water is. ***Tip*** We came in mid-October and avoided the crowds and the parking hassle. We visited on two separate occasions and had no issues parking at the lake.
